32 household helpers received their certificates on two consecutive Saturday afternoons after completing a full day course on ‘Essential Baking Course” organized by CEE Network Culinary Arts Lifestyle Courses. The program was under the patronage of the Philippine Ambassador’s wife, Chef Mrs. Noor Jarifa Lomondot.

Essential Baking Course has been designed by CEE Network Culinary Arts with a purpose of providing necessary knowledge through hands on classes to Filipino household helpers in Kuwait.

The program which was launched three weeks prior to initial classes earned needs from applicants who enlisted their names via online application with high hopes of being chosen to be a part of the scholarship grant courtesy of LBC Express in collaboration with Dadabhai Travel, Al Alamia Manpower International Services, Janes Closet and Annes Footwear and RTW collection.

The one full day course included eight hours divided in two different parts: making breads and baking pies. The course gave the participants the know-how and techniques of making “sweet dough” which can create several types of breads popular in local bakeries. The afternoon offered two different types of pies; coconut and egg, which are popular delicacies in the Philippines.
