“Today was my first day at the Food Skills Program, and it was amazing because I was able to meet new people and it was very nice, but also, I got to know many new ways of cooking. For example, I learned to bake cupcakes in a much easier and richer way than I knew and I am very proud to know that I can bake, thanks to this program.”
