Empty Bowls

Last Wednesday night, parents attending High School Conferences were greeted by a myriad of handmade beautiful bowls by HS Art students and the delicious smell of homecooked soup wafting through the air.

For the mere sum of 10,000 won, people were able to purchase a beautiful bowl and fill it with some delectable soups.  The general consensus was ... "mmmMMMmm"! 

Thanks to the generosity of all involved, this project made approximately 700,000 won.  That's one round of DOTs treatment for 14 Dongdaewon patients!

Recently NHS had a talent show and 300,000 won of the money raised was donated to Dongdaewon.  That's DOTs medication for 6 patients.

Breakfast with the Head

The Swedish Chef Will Cook For YOU!

NOT this one ...

We can do better!

Our Swedish Chef ...

Dr Engstrom makes the meanest Swedish Pancakes this side of Sweden (although rumour has it that the Swansons could provide serious competition).  He is willing to make some for you and up to 5 others.  Make it a family occasion or bring a couple of friends.

How Does It Work?

This is an auction ... the highest bidder gets the prize (or in this case ... the pancakes!).

This auction is now closed.  Bidding closed at 100,000 won.  Enjoy your breakfast!

Dongdaewon Cooking School - Back by Popular Demand!

It's back by popular demand! Click play in the video above to see what the buzz is about!

Last year's classes were so popular, some sold out within 24 hours and all were sold out within a week.

This year we have expanded and are opening up the cooking school to the whole school community.

We are offering 2 Indian classes, 1 Thai, Brunch With a Punch, Soups Stews and Breads and a Mediterranean Dinner Party.

You will:

• learn to cook it
• have the pleasure of eating it
• go home with the recipes
• impress friends and family with your newfound culinary skills

How much would you expect to pay for such an incredible opportunity?  100,000 Won?  Sign up for any class, for just 50,000 won!  That's an absolute STEAL!  We can do even better than that ... sign up for three classes for the special price of just 125,000 won - that's 25,000 won savings!

BUT WAIT ... There's more ...

Not only will you get to cook, eat and go home with the secret recipes, you will also save lives!  Proceeds will go to our Dongdaewon Care Centre in North Korea.

Check out Edline for classes, dates and registration forms.  To secure your place in a class, send the registration form and the fee to Sarah Carpenter (Elementary School).

Empty Bowls

Hungry?

High School students in Jessica Kemnitz and Rosalee van Staalduinen’s classes are hard at work creating ceramic bowls to feed you! This year, our annual ceramic auction is going in a different direction. Next Wednesday, March 10, we will be hosting an Empty Bowls dinner from 5:30-8pm in the Gym lobby. Empty Bowls is a tradition beginning in the United States to raise awareness about hunger. Students create the soup bowls, and the parents and community are invited in to purchase a bowl, and receive soup and bread to eat in their newly purchased bowl!


The Details:

When:        Wednesday March 10, 5:30-8pm

Where:       Gym lobby

How much: minimum 10,000 won donation

What do you get?:  A handcrafted bowl of your choosing, and then your soup bowl full of soup and bread! What could be better?

Thankyou for your support of this great project.  Empty Bowls raised just over 900,000 won.  There were lots of happy, satisfied customers and fabulous tasting soups.
