Cooking Up A Brighter Future
As part of its commitment to support the Bali Life Foundation, Alila Villas Uluwatu has taken on two of the foundation’s eldest children and staff as trainees in its kitchen, 13-year-old Yolanda and 25-year-old Wayan Puri.
The Bali Life Foundation, located in South Bali, provides a safe, loving home for children who are orphaned, abandoned or whose parents are unable to care for them. In a family environment, with foster parents and other ‘brothers and sisters’, the children are given an education and the opportunity to train in skills that will give them the best chance for future employment supported by Bali’s vibrant tourism industry.
The foundation is one of several nominated charities funded by Alila Villas Uluwatu. Alila’s in-house training programme, which covers cooking, hygiene and hospitality, will enable them to gain invaluable skills and experience required to ensure a good start within the industry.
Yolanda and Puri have already been introduced to some kitchen essentials including basic cutting techniques, hygiene and sanitation. Under the patient guidance of Demi Chef de Partie, Rai, and Chef de Partie, Heru, the girls have even learnt some simple recipes such as how to make ice cream, cookies, pancakes and garnishes out of vegetables. Puri is getting familiar with the English words for different herbs like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and bayleaf.
Yolanda and Puri are both thrilled at the education at Alila Villas Uluwatu, and look forward to building their cooking repertoire and soon mastering dishes on their own.
