PetesPlace - School of Catering and Hospitality

I had the privilege of operating this project from Oct 2014 to July 2015, after which I had to close down operations as we had no funds to continue and the person who supported us was transferred. I would like to share some of the most wonderful, rewarding and fulfilling experience/s of my life in/withThe School of Catering and Hospitality with you.

The first batch was of five students - all underprivileged, Drop-outs commenced in October of 2014. The most endearing part of the project was that we had one student who was HIV+, another had a hole in the heart, a third was the son of a housemaid. The other two, a boy and a girl made up the batch of five.

They were a studious lot and by the end of December, when on a Trainee site visit to the Minerva Grand Hotel, the entire batch (all five) were asked to join, each in their respective areas of specialization. Four signed up and the fifth joined his father's canteen business.

The second batch was doubled to ten and completed the course in Mar. 2015. This time too all were placed with gainful employment in star hotels.

The third batch was sixteen. By this time I we had some rudimentary Audio/Visual equipment that made classes more animated. This batch too had one hundred percent placement with some opting for other service oriented jobs.

The jewels in the crown were the four outstanding students who were selected by The Park Hyatt - Hyderabad.

I am confident, that with your assistance, this project will be restarted soon to give the children of tomorrow a better chance at life.
