Just after getting back from our trip to Malaysia (lots of videos from Penang to come soon), I hung out with my friend Dwight Turner for the day. Dwight and I have been friends in Bangkok for many years, and he’s the founder of In Search of Sanuk, a non-profit organization that helps people through having fun, and sometimes through food.
One of his biggest projects is a Saturday project where he and a number of volunteers help teach kids and do activities with them. Some kids learned English while others played games and did crafts. But the highlight of the day was cooking, and it’s something many of the kids really enjoy doing and learning. Many of the kids in this area don’t know about proper nutrition or or even proper ways to cook food, and so one of Dwight biggest project is bringing food into the equation.
On this day volunteering in Bangkok, the kids cooked spring rolls. The spring rolls included cabbage, carrots, and a mixture of vegetables, all wrapped up, and deep fried to a golden crisp. Once all the spring rolls were fried, we ate lunch together with all the kids - we ate spring rolls, eggs, and rice.
After hanging out for more of the morning and into the middle of the afternoon. Dwight and I returned to his house where he cooked up some mackerel which he had in the fridge and which needed to be eaten. The mackerel, cooked up with tomato sauce, was excellent.
For dinner, in honor of World Refugee Day 2015, we went to a venue in Bangkok that was hosting a refugee dinner to raise money. There were many types of food available including Somali food and plenty of people selling Pakistani food. I enjoyed a delicious bowl of Pakistani mutton leg stew with naan, some different types of kebabs, and a big plate mixture of Somali food.
It was a wonderful day in Bangkok, Thailand, first volunteering with Dwight, then going to the a World Refugee Day 2015 food fundraiser.
