Cooking Lessons |
Cooking has really been a theme for this quarter. Before she left Maite held another cooking Sunday, this time baking chocolate cake. Another huge success, and great achievement considering the Home does not have a proper oven. She had to bake using a steel box placed on top of a gas burner ring. It did the job though and the results were delicious.
On 14 June the Home had another guest, this time Mas Beni came to teach the children how to cook a traditional local caramel sweet. |
|
Then on 19 June the local Sunan Hotel held a “Free Cooking Class for Female Orphans”. All the girls from the Home attended, and during the day were taught how to cook steak & chips, spaghetti bolognaise, fried rice and fried noodles from the hotel's chefs.

Drawing & Painting |
Another recent theme seems to have been art. In May a local artist began giving weekly drawing and painting lessons to the children. Pak Seno starts teaching the basic drawing techniques and then leads on to painting with water-colours and eventually oil on canvas. |
|
Then on 26 June, a local city restaurant, O-Solo-Mio, held a painting competition day for 100 orphans of the city. The children from Gunungan joined the event and everybody had an excellent time painting on small canvas boards. All the paintings will be up for sale in the restaurant over the next few months, with the proceeds going to the individual young artists. |
