| Helping himself.... |
Recently, four Congolese guys from a couple of blocks away came over to our house to teach our new resident from Rwanda how to cook some food from that part of Africa. They pretty much took over the kitchen and whipped up a couple of delicious dishes including an enormous plate of fufu. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of spicy tomato sauce and chatter in Kinyarwanda, one of the languages they have in common. They also did a very good job cleaning up.
Like most of our male asylum seekers, he was initially at a loss in the kitchen. He subsisted primarily on milk and cereal during his first week at RHHP except for food that other residents shared with him. Thanks to our Congolese neighbors, he is now preparing more substantial meals and is able to replicate the dishes his friends showed him. And like most of the asylum seekers before him, he will soon be cooking his favorite meals.
