How to cook sweet bean cakes
– a lesson from a road-side chef
in Samrong Mean Chey

2. “As CAFOD’s Programme
Support Officer for Cambodia, I
make regular visits to
communities such as Samrong
Mean Chey,” writes Clodagh
Byrne.
“I experience our partner
Salvation Centre Cambodia’s
work in action, discuss areas of
progress and challenges and
meet the people our
programmes are reaching. It is
a wonderful opportunity to learn
about the different ways
people’s lives are changing as
a result of our projects.”
Welcome to
Kainmari, southern
Bangladesh

3. “Without fail I am always inspired
by the strength and commitment of
the people I meet.
“On a recent visit, I was lucky
enough to get an added bonus –
the chance to improve my cooking
skills. As I was walking down one
of the long dusty roads I came
across a young woman selling
sweet bean cakes from a stall at
the side of the road.
“When I tried one of the cakes and
commented on how tasty it was,
she offered to teach me how to
make them, so I returned the next
day for a memorable outdoor
cooking lesson.”

cakes.

eating sweet bean cakes!
