Amazing Grace and Mama Millie have been cooking meals or Turning Point kids for over 10 years. They get to work in the early hours of the morning to roll out and fry the morning mandazi. Then they move on to preparations for lunch. Sorting maize and beans, chopping vegetables, slicing meat. Most of the meals take hours to cook in our huge cooking pots. The most back-breaking meal to prepare is Sukuma and ugali - fried kale with a kind of maizemeal cake.
Ugali is made by stiring maize flour into boiling water. First it becomes sticky, then gradually becomes more and more solid and more difficult to stir. Mama Millie and Grace literally use a huge stiring stick that looks like an oar to row a boat!
The kitchen at Turning Point is always full of delicious smells and the sound of Mama Millie and Grace singing and laughing as they work. They know that their work is so important to the children we serve and they do it joyfully.
We wanted to celebrate Mama Millie and Grace's great work in this report and thank you for your support to our amazing cooks.
