Training in healthy cooking for a women network in Beirut

As part of the USAID funded programme entitled: ‘Promotion of Local Communities Initiatives and Participation of Women in Local Development, the League of the Sons of Beirut completed last Friday the first phase of the ‘Art of Healthy Cooking’ training project which was run for the Network of Mothers Against Extremism, which was supervised by professional Chefs Mohamad Cherif and Fatima Ghabra. Speaking on behalf of the above League at the closing ceremony, Mona Itani outlined the different stages of implementation of the project, which included training workshops aimed at developing women’s cooking skills, and for preparing special diets catering to hospital patients. Furthermore, Itani added that several lectures were delivered by experts in the areas of sustainable human resources development and educational psychologists and that is to improve the mother-teen relationship, as well a to develop other personal skills, and expand women’s knowledge of their rights so as to counter domestic violence.
