I was fortunate to have witnessed such a heartwarming event and milestone for Enderun, Ducasse Education and Ducasse Institute Philippines. It was an important occassion for the lives of 10 street kids who now have a future! Thank you to all the people who have made this possible and there are many!

My beautiful and hardworking batchmate, Tricia Castañeda Tensuan, employee # 1 of Enderun :-), and is the dynamic VP for Admissions and External Relations together with Farah Padlan, Marketing Officer of Tuloy Foundation
Our friends, Noye and Nicole Fandiño. Nicole has been a friend of Father Rocky and Tuloy Foundation since she was single and until now they are constant friends and kind donors of the foundation. Some of the students train and intern with Noye in his company, Village Gourmet. Thank you to this lovely couple for their support for Ducasse Institute Philippines and Tuloy Foundation. The world needs more people like you! 🙂
The students were made to prepare dinner and they would be graded as part of their graduation 🙂 So we all were given grading sheets to fill out
We had a delicious dinner!

Chef Jean Pierre ( JP ) Migne who started the Culinary Center in Tuloy Foundation. He had 84 graduates in a span of two and a half years. He recently got into an accident and is unable to work for now
It was so touching to see how all of the graduates went to Chef JP and hugged and cried when they saw him there to witness this very important milestone in their life.
True act of love and gratitude from the graduates
Thank you to Raffles and Fairmont Hotel Makati, represented by David Batchelor, Managing Director, for offering jobs and internships for some of the graduates at their hotel. Others will be going to Vask, Chateau 1771, Soprano and Four Seasons Hotel in Dubai
