The instructor was John Messer, a volunteer English teacher with Hope Acts and a passionate cook. Attendees were Hope Acts students from Angola, Burundi, Egypt, Gabon, and other places who learned new vocabulary centered around food and cooking, tasted culturally different foods, and enjoyed the opportunity to meet in person.
