Their conversation led to the idea of setting up our own
bakery. Mr. Satish, the chef gave his consent to provide his voluntary services
and impart his knowledge to our residents and staff. We immediately took up
this opportunity and it was decided that a core group of staff members will
initially attend the “Training Of Trainee” workshop and then later on transfer
their skills to the residents from time to time. This way the learnt
skills would always stay with the core group and they in turn could transfer it
to the floating population of residents.
This endeavour would fulfill different aims at the same
time:
(a) All our residents could get a chance to relish and enjoy fresh bakery in different forms of cakes, bread, patties, muffins and biscuits etc. (b)
Later on few residents can use these skills
as a part of their income generation
capacity building.
(c)
Residents would involve themselves
learning and engaging in some positive skills. They could easily utilize
their time in similar positive activities. This was kind of providing them with
alternate opinions when they are not indulging with alcohol/drugs.
(d)
All achievements lead to gathering self worth
which finally results in earning enhanced self-confidence.
Although this project is still in its infancy, due to paucity
of funds. Till now we have invested around Rs.1 lakh (Rupees One lakh only). More
money will be needed to strengthen this concept. God will send his help, we
have a firm belief about it.
