CeLIM MEETING (26.09.2009)
--
The 26th of September Zambia Celim Crew met in Lusaka for the Celim Meeting. It was a good moment to share the different experiences about the various projects in Zambia and it was the moment to thank Michela, Lucia and Gabriel because they are about to conclude their work experience in Zambia.
All Olga’s Team thank Gabriel for the extraordinary time he spent at Olga’s and wish him a safe journey to Brazil…. Grazie!!!

Sharon and Anaiawa YCTC students in Catering

--
As soon as the school holidays of the Catering Course of the YCTC started the students Sharon and Anaiawa joined our kitchen staff for a 1 month work experience.
Both were recommended by their lectures as being the best students of the term and therefore were given the chance of applying everything they learned at the course in a real and busy restaurant of Livingstone: Olga’s Italian Corner. The idea worked out so nicely that Olga’s will keep welcoming more students that are on the holiday period to join our kitchen. This is exactly how Olga’s and the YCTC work together, combining theory and practice in one big Project!
The lessons will be back this Monday the 7th of September and also Sharon and Anaiawa will leave us to keep the focus on the studies! Thanks girls for the support and keep studying!

“I’m so glad to have found out about Olga’s Project, I’ll certainly be including it in my recommendations to Lonely Planet! Happy to support such a worthy cause in return for a delicious dinner and some Christmas shopping! Thanks for all you do, keep it up! Hope to be back soon!”

“Best place to eat in all of Zambia! You got to live the food, the cause and the big orange oven. I can’t wait to come back! God bless.”

Welcome to the team Gabriel and Jonas!
--
Olgas’s is pleased and excited at the addition of two new members to our crew! On the beginning of May the Brazilian volunteer Gabriel Govoni left the CeLIM’s headquarter in Lusaka and joined us for a period of 6 months. He is taking an active role in managing Olga’s side by side to the already well know manager Giuseppe. Also recently the half Italian-half German CeLIM volunteer Jonas Schuten arrived in Livingstone to complete his 3 months internship. Jonas is going to work mainly at the Youth Community Training Centre supporting the local educators and also keeping the link between Olga’s and YCTC alive!
