Every year International Chefs day is celebrated on 20th October. This year the theme “Healthy Kids- Healthy Future” was decided by WACS (World Association of Chefs Societies).
The Culinary Forum of Goa celebrated this day by spreading the awareness of health, nutrition and good cheer with a hearty lunch among 250 under privileged children at the Fr Agnel Institute. The Children and the Orphanage Staff immensely enjoyed the home style and very healthy lunch. This was followed with a small token (stationery) given by CFG to the Children to encourage them in their studies. Approximately 350 kg of raw material (groceries) was also handed over to the Orphanage to support them in their day to day meals.
The Lunch was sponsored by the Goa Hotels namely Holiday Inn, Ramada, Zuri, Marriott, Radisson and Cidade de Goa along with Restaurant Cavatina/Tizumi. The Venue and Services was sponsored by Fr Agnel Institute of Hotel Management.
CFG would personally Thank the Organisations and Chefs for the generous contributions with the food, organization and the time and effort spent by the Chefs who came with an open heart and spent a lot of your valuable time along with us, for this noble initiative, and make it a small step in the long journey towards a “Healthy Future of Kids”. Thanking You and in anticipation of many more such events to give back to Society and the Fraternity.
