It was such an honour to be invited back to the February retreat for the parents of very special kids .
Eager participants for the cooking demonstration were awaiting my arrival and keen to get straight in to it.......
We made savoury taboulieh from scratch and upon completion added it to the buffet style luncheon prepared by the wonderful volunteers that run the retreat.
The cooking class also made wraps with a Meditteranian influence and showed my group the importance of presentation by adding a stem of fresh herbs to the packaging and watched the wraps disappear quickly from the luncheon table.
At the end of the retreat all the guests gather with their families in reflection of their weekend experience and are invited to share their thoughts , the families are from all walks of life but all share the same constraints that living with a child with disability brings .
The families are so gratefull and appreciative of having a weekend where their meals are cooked for them , their children are cared for and parents can have a few precious hours to have their hair done , get a massage , attend a cooking demonstration , take a ride on a Harley....all provided by the most generous of volunteers who run the Very Special Kids charity.
