| The poster for the baking lesson on Aug 11 |
Fancy baking your own bread, and partnering it with sardines in oil you made yourself?
If you relish the idea, you may want to join either or both of the two livelihood seminars that will be held on two upcoming Sundays by one of the longest-serving migrant organizations in Hong Kong, the Diwa’t Kabayan Benlife Society.
The first whole-day
seminar scheduled on August 11, 9am to 6pm, will focus on bread making, with pandesal,
pizza, ensaymada and biscuits among the end-products.

place in the training seminar.

| Meat processing is one of Diwa't Kabayan banner projects |
On the next Sunday, Aug. 18, 10 am to 6pm, another seminar will be held by the group to teach food and meat processing. The food items to be produced will include different kind of longanisa, tocino, sardines in oil, and tinapa.
A reservation
fee of $100 will be collected from each participant, with the total amount of
contribution for the other expenses to be determined on the day itself.
All participants
who signed up will be fetched at the Taipo Market MTR station.
Earlier, the
all-OFW group also provided training on how to create wedding accessories out
of mesh stockings. The half-day seminar was held on July 28 at the Metrobank
conference room. Admission was on a first come, first served basis.
Diwa’t Kabayan
which has all along been headed by its founder, Naty Manalo, has been teaching OFWs various
livelihood skills for the past 25 years.
