Dear Chefs,

The old saying goes: "April showers bring May flowers." How did you prepare for the future this

month?

In our March newsletter, we encouraged you to make a commitment to better yourself and your

profession. In this message, you'll see the faces of Worldchefs members who took that

message to heart.

We're gearing up for another busy month ahead. There's no shortage of ways to participate!

Learn more below on the many ways to get involved.

Help us sew the seeds,

The Worldchefs team

This month World Chefs Without Borders

supported the amazing efforts of a Rakhine

pastry chef in Mrauk Oo's war zone. Ma

Shwe Ngwe Oo, a former hotel owner,

became a Bakery Master and started her

own bakery with an all female staff. War

interrupted her thriving business, but rather

than flee, this brave woman has used her

facilities to feed the most vulnerable. She

designed a healthy bread roll as a "Happy

Breakfast", provided daily to 3000 children

living in refugee camps. Here, Worldchefs

Oliver E Soe Thet distributes the rolls.

Ma Shwe Ngwe Oo and her staff of 8 women prepare 3000 bread rolls daily for the over

20,000 children living in refugee camps in N Rakhin and Mrauk Oo. They have already

provided over 100,000 rolls so far, a tremendous contribution in an area where NGOs are

not allowed.
