Socially responsable food

Last night we had a lovely meal in a socially responsible restaurant.

It was a bit bumpy and dark to get there, but we found it easily. They were out of chicken, so Hazel had the brochette and chips and I had spaghetti bolognaise with an order of aloco (fried bananas) on the side. Not that I needed the aloco, but I just love them.















The restaurant is set up by a german lady who runs several projects at the same time. She also runs a farm to educate mainly boys, we visited that and posted about some months ago. As a small extra source of income you can also buy some souvenirs there. These are the items made by the kids as part of their training scheme.

I found a postcard with cutest picture on it. Babies are carried on the back of their mother (or older sister) so this little girl is practising.



















On the website you can see the projects and some more pictures.

Gem, socially responsible is kind of a translation from Dutch. What I meant to say is that we were 'doing good' while eating. Brilliant isn't it. I am referring to the fact that the profit goes to a good course. In this case kids.

Sounds really good that the profit goes to help kids:)

Hope Nev is improving xx
