THE kids of Tondo, Manila, are now becoming equipped with new expertise in world-class Italian cookery.

To provide an avenue for more career options for underprivileged kids in Tondo, the Embassy of Italy in the Philippines organized a cooking workshop on traditional Italian recipes, which was the third activity lined up under the 'The Embassy of Italy meets the youth of Tondo' festival. It aimed at exposing the youth to a variety of cultural activities until July, intended to contribute to their personal and professional growth.
