“The cooking training restored my confidence and self-esteem. Thanks to the support I received, I’m less shy, more self-assured, and I’ve learned that in the kitchen, every mistake can be fixed… with a little creativity! The caring yet firm approach allowed me to progress without pressure. I felt respected, treated as a full adult. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
