Baking

A few days ago, another volunteer and I baked rolls, cakes, and cookies for 7 hours. His day job happens to be as a chef for a 5-star hotel, so I more or less followed his lead. =P



Here's a sample of what we produced.



1/2 of the batch ended up as treats for a big volunteer group from the U.S. Navy that came by to paint several of our buildings, and the other 1/2 we sold at the local market. Home & Life, like many nonprofits, is trying to generate income in any way that it can, and at the same time, teach its kids some useful life skills.

If you had an extra $20 in your pocket, you could do a lot worse than donate it to an organization like Home & Life. In the States, $20 will get you a meal or two. Here, you can stretch it into a meal for 25 kids and 5 adults.
