Lha’s first batch of 18 Cookery course students were with us from August 1 to October 11. On completion of their course, Lha hosted a farewell event and distributed certificates to the outgoing students. The entire Lha staff then enjoyed a dinner cooked for them by the students. The course is of two and a half month’s duration and took place in the Soup Kitchen at Lha’s Ahimsa House. The students were trained by Mr Lekphel. Under his guidance, they learned various types of cuisine: Oriental; Indian; Japanese/Korean; Italian; Tibetan and Bhutanese.

In addition to learning the preparation of main dishes the students learned how to make Indian sweets and desserts. The students were also given training in personality development and financial literacy.

We are going to start the second batch of cookery course from November 1, they will be with us for two months.
