I had the privilege of doing a Monday morning volunteering stint at the Belgium Avenue Neighbourhood House in Richmond, part of the City of Yarra. The wonderful Nga is a social worker who runs the cooking program there, where we cooked for about 30 people who attended the free English classes at the Neighbourhood House.

Alas, all good things have to come to an end, but if you’d like to volunteer there, you can contact me and I’ll pass your details onto Nga. She also has an availability at the Collingwood Neighbourhood House on Tuesday mornings. And you’ll get a fantastic Vietnamese cooking lesson every week for free!
