A cast of outstanding Spanish chefs sponsor the culinary training of nine new African cooks.
Chef to Chef, this is the name of the solidarity and training project that develops Harambee in collaboration with nine prestigious national chefs, to supervise the training of nine young people from the Ivory Coast and Kenya.
On September 30 with the presence of HRH Teresa de Borbón, Honorary President of Harambee, I present the development of the project and made known who will be the tutors and their students in this singular act of solidarity that will help these young people with few resources to be able to develop a creative and professional activity in the kitchen, their passion and vocation, that if this collaboration could hardly have been carried out.
The solidarity project, is being financed through a crowdfunding campaign, which will run until November 13, and on the Harambee website it perfectly details the contributions, their content and especially their final destination.
The Harambee Solidarity Organization, is a non-profit organization that manages solidarity projects at an international level, taking the message of its own name (all together – in Swahili) to the neediest countries in Africa.
Education, health and assistance are the works that he develops to help young people and children from Benin, Cameroon, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda and Togo.

To receive the so precious treasure of the donation, the sponsors of the students have created a series of dishes That in honor and in recognition of their goddaughters, they can be tasted at the creators’ premises, in order to contribute the proceeds to finance the education of the lucky ones in their countries of origin.
Chantal hake, brown cassava and pine grill with sesame and walnuts, remembering the airs of Soria, Grilled zucchini miniature with sautéed onion and citrus aroma o Corvina with pod cream are some of the excellent developments that will undoubtedly serve to forge and help these future cooks.
