Baking In The Garden
January 10, 2012 by Holly
The Ukweli Training Center in Ilula, Kenya has agreed to partner with the AIC Missionary College to provide a three-month training program to their missionary students. The course will instruct the students in areas of agriculture, personal hygiene and in the culinary arts. The hope is to empower these students with the necessary skills and knowledge to survive in hardship areas of the world.
This week, the students learned how to build a wood-burning oven, using bricks, mud and a steel drum, which was built in the Training Center’s demonstration garden. Later in the week when the mud had dried, Mrs. Mary Chepsat, a trained chef and one of the mothers at the Ilula Children’s Home, taught the students how to make bread and to properly bake it in the homemade oven. In about fifteen minutes, the bread was done to perfection. The day ended with a warm slice of bread, a true testament to the students’ hard work.
