In Yabbies And Cappuccino, A Culinary Lifeline For Aboriginal Youth
If you teach an Aboriginal man (or woman) to make a cappuccino, can you feed his career for a lifetime?
That's the hope at Yaama Dhiyaan, a cooking and hospitality school for at-risk indigenous young people in Australia.
Students there are learning the skills to be cooks, restaurant, hotel workers and caterers. The school is also helping to reconnect them to their culture, disrupted when many of their grandparents were kidnapped off the land, forced into missionary schools and denied the right to vote until the 1960s.
Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo is an Aboriginal elder who heads the school. She is from the Gamillera tribe and grew up on a reservation in New South Wales, about 500 miles from Sydney.
