My First Koori Kitchen session

Although, I've always been very comfortable when it came to dealing with kids, I realized that I was a bit too concerned about the possible differences in reactions/ perceptions between kids I've dealt with before and the aboriginal kids I was about to meet. When I realized that I actually knew next to nothing about their culture, traditions, way of life, it made me even more aware of my actions towards them. However, when I actually met them, I realized that they were not that much different from the rest of the kids. Throughout an entire session everybody was having fun preparing all kinds of food: from chicken and veal to a fruit salad.

I felt like it was a truly unique experience for kids- one of those moments when they were really enjoying what they were doing. At some point I realized that it is not just a project about the benefits of healthy nutrition. It is a set of amazing team building and leadership activities that will definitely help these kids to become more confident about themselves. Just wanted to thank everyone who was involved in organizing the project- you have done an absolutely amazing job.
