Let’s cook up a bright future together 🤩
We are thrilled to announce that our 10 days basic culinary art program with the form three leavers in Maun has been nothing short of amazing.
This program was tailor made for the youth that may have not excelled academically, but have a passion for cooking and creativity. The program is intended to provide hands-on experience and essential culinary skills that can open doors to new career opportunities. Our dream and hope for them is that this will be a launching pad to their endless dream in culinary arts.
We are thankful to management, for providing their kitchen to make this possible. Cheers to many days of pursuing our dreams.

Teaching styles can be tailored to different learner profiles, such as kinesthetic, visual and audiology learners.

For the sessions that we had with the form three leavers workshop organised by Botoka Foundation and Drongo School of leadership, out of the 200 learners who attended, we identified kinesthetic and visual learners who aspire to become chefs.

This is why we have put together a hands on 10days program that will set them off on their vocational career path of becoming chefs.

What is a kinesthetic Leaner? A learner who prefers hands on activities, experiment and physical movement to learn new concepts.

To engage these learners we have put together a fully hands-on and interactive, fun filled cooking lessons that will build their confidence on the vocational training they will like to embark on.

Only learners who participated a week long workshop that Drongo school of Leadership and Botoka Foundation has been offering for the past month will qualify for the free registration.

Last week we had the pleasure of spending the day with these amazing young people who attended a workshop that was organised by Botoka Foundation and Drongo School Of Leadership.

The purpose of the workshop was to help the form three leavers who did not perform well academically to navigate the next step of their lives knowing that there there is so much they can do to reshape their lives even if they are not admitted at senior schools.

We shared with them that everyone is born with the extraordinary potential to make a difference in the world and that making a difference begins with self awareness and alignment.

We helped them to define their purpose and showed them how to map their vision by exploring their core values, what they love, what the world needs, what they can be paid for and what they are good at.

This exercise was completed by making vision boards and it was evident that most of them are on the vocational path; they desire to be farmers, mechanics, chefs etc.

We will be offering 10 days culinary programs for young people aged 15 - 21 in Maun who are passionate about cooking to give them the foundation that will help them to advance their career.

More information will be shared soon. We have enjoyed running these programs and we are looking forward to the success of this one.
