Sebas is a teen who lives on our campus and is a part of the Hope Program. He grew up in children's home about 6 hours outside Monterrey. Thankfully he has been supported to go to one of top culinary schools in Monterrey. Earlier this month his school had a exhibition in which the students researched traditional foods from each state in Mexico, set up booths, decorated, and represented that state at a fair. Cheque and I were invited to go and try some of the food that Sebas and his classmates had prepared. I can honestly say that there was not one thing I tried and did not like! Sebas is a talented cook. I'm excited for the opportunities that lie ahead for him :)

| Sweet gorditas from Puebla... very tasty! |
 |
| Chiles en nogadas, the main dish Sebas' team prepared. Sebas was in charge of the rice, and let me tell you, it was super good! |

| Here is the chef with his food! |
