Four courses have taken place this year under Lha’s Livelihood Project 2019: four batches of the Tibetan Traditional Massage and Spa course, two batches of the Cookery course and one batch each of the Bartender and Bakery courses. We are delighted to have seen 85 students complete their Livelihood Project courses this year. This training was made possible with funding from the Tibet Fund, USA.
Currently, this year’s final batch of Cookery and Bakery students are undergoing their training at our Community Soup Kitchen, in Ahimsa House.
The Cookery course started on November 1, finishing on December 31, with Mr. Lekphel as trainer. The 20 students taking part have been learning to prepare various international foods, with a special focus on Asian cuisine.
The much-awaited one-month Bakery course kicked off on Dec 9 with nine students taking part, learning to bake various types of cakes, bread, buns, and muffins. The students are getting hands-on practical experience throughout their training.
The Bakery course is the final course for 2019. Please stay in touch for news of next year’s Livelihood courses, enabling people to improve their employment prospects with skills relevant to today’s job market.
