John Price, under the 2002 USA Ambassador&#8217;s Self-Help Fund kindly presented to SPES a modern computerized projector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Social Security, National Solidarity and Reform Institutions read the message of praise and encouragment sent by the Honourable Minister Samioullah Lauthan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon after, the SPES team of specialized Teacher Trainers demonstrated the utility of the projector for ICT and presented their multimedia creations on the diverse uses of &#8220;Palm trees and coconuts&#8221;. (The background texture depicts coconut fibres, from our Mauritian Islands, woven by the SPES weavers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At tea-time some &#8220;Lizie dan la Main&#8221; young trainees learnt to make the Mauritian nurishing &#8220;Coconut\/rice Poutous&#8221; using the digital microwave to which SPES has added braille letters to facilitate its use for those who have eyesight problems. The 4-minute microwave cooking of this Health-food turned out to be yet another delicious recipe for these young microwave bakers that are determined to become proficient entrepreneurs in the Baking line for school catering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
