Thanks to generous donations from Switzerland (Bay Foundation) and Liechtenstein, we finally have a proper kitchen; therefore no more food cooked on open fires! 

When Jelena, Holger, Isabella and Bruna went visiting Bholas Children in November 2009, the actual building of the new kitchen had just been finished. In Dhaka they bought a big cooker with an extractor, many pots and oven trays.

Although the kitchen wasn’t fully equipped yet, they managed to inaugurate it installing the new cooker and having the first lunch ‘cooked on the premises’ with Lars-Erik Wallhagen and Roland visiting too from Sweden.

Laily proudly cooked also Spätzle that Isabella thought her the days before.It was such a wonderful atmosphere, we European visitors and Ali sitting around a big table feeling all very emotional and proud that finally Bholas Children Protibondi School has finally a kitchen. At the times the gas for cooking was still provided by gas bottles, but now finally they have installed pipes bringing local gas to our home and kitchen, helping also to lower the cost of the gas bill!
