Eating, European style!

We  have a chef that comes to the Oasis every Thursday to teach the children how to cook.
Last week Om Alvin gave them a lesson in 'How to eat in a restaurant' instead of cooking.
Turns out it was a good idea - I don't think anyone of them has ever used a knife and a fork  before!
Most of the people here eat with their hands. It's usually only the foreigners that are used to using cutlery.



Om Alvin explains Budi how to use the fork and how to use the knife.


It was so hilarious to watch the kids. They had to wear a bib cause they are still pretty messy eaters when using cutlery! :D

Om Alvin with Astawa. He has to explain, that this knife has a sharp side which is used to cut the food in pieces.

Putu - She was actually quite good! 


Of cause we didn't let the kids starve. 
After 5 minutes of practicing everybody was allowed to use their hands!
They are very happy that they don't have to eat with a fork and a knife.
I am not sure if they understand why anybody would even bother using anything else but their hands to eat. :D
