World Food Day is more than just a celebration of culinary delights though; it's a powerful reminder of the importance of global food security and the fight against hunger. Through this event, we learned about diverse cuisines, shared stories of cultural significance, and embraced the unity that comes from breaking bread together. Furthermore, the funds raised from our food tasting event will be directed towards supporting a local orphanage Shanghai Children’s Home. It's heartwarming to see our BISS Puxi community come together, not only to savour the world's flavours but to also make a positive difference in the lives of those in need. Our World Food Day celebration exemplified how the shared love for food can create lasting change and understanding within our community.
Moreover, our cooking class centred around affordable and nutritious meal preparation, empowering participants with valuable cooking skills, allowing us to make the most of leftover resources in the kitchen. Our parents had a chance to learn how to create delicious, budget-friendly meals that are both nutritious and satisfying. We believe that celebrating World Food Day in this way will help us foster a deeper understanding of global food traditions and encourage unity within our community whilst minimising the wastage of food.
