FCM COOKATHON DRIVE: PROMOTING NUTRITION and LITERACY
FCM is inviting corporates and organisations to join its COOKATHON Drive, which is aimed at promoting nutrition whilst imparting reading skills.
The COOKATHON initiative is a fun-filled event where business and civil society interact in a competitive cooking marathon. The competitors cook for kids and youth from impoverished households. Whilst participants are preparing the meal for the kids, other guests are interacting with the kids by distributing books and facilitating group reading sessions. All the activities happen in five hours.
The judges taste and rate the food just before it is served, in order to maintain the competitive aspect. The winner is the team who cooked within 3 hours or less.
We are inviting more companies and organisations to come and have a hands on experience in cooking a meal and serving the less advantaged kids whilst imparting a reading skill and making tangible experience in their lives.
Thank you to Nozala Trust, Bidvest and 100% Foundation for partnering with us on our first COOKATHON drive on the 15th of July 2023.
We cooked for 500 children.
The current FCM COOKATHON CHAMPION record is held by 100% Foundation, who competed against Bidvest.
