The LTBCSP sponsored 15 individuals from the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Baguio to a 2 week Basic Culinary Training Course at the International School of Culinary Arts and Hotel Management (ISCAHM) to learn Basic Cooking Techniques and Sanitation in order that these individuals may share their knowledge and uplift culinary standards within their community.
LTBCSP provided tuition textbooks uniforms and a knife kit per scholar. During their stay in Manila our scholars were treated to a welcome cocktail at AzuThai Restaurant, hotel and kitchen tour of the Hyatt Hotel and Casino, a tour of the Werdenberg International Corporation storerooms and the Euro Swiss Sausage Factory.
Special thanks to all those who made this possible: Othmar Frei, Norbert Gandler, Uli Williman, Anthony de Leon, Mark Biddle, Lotees Palacios, Hubi Weber, Goldie San Luis, Andreas Reider, Anne Ramos, Emma Cruz, Cheryl Limbo and the LTB Membership.
This is the 4th consecutive year of the LTBCSP; to date we have had 49 scholars from all over the Philippines successfully completing this program. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
J. Gamboa
