Representatives of the Ashley Lashley Foundation, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Barbados Ministry of Health and Wellness recently competed in a Health for All Cook-Off Competition in recognition of World Health Day, April 7.
PEG Farm and Nature Reserve located in the Barbados countryside was the ideal setting for this friendly but competitive cookoff. In keeping with the theme, Health for All, the cookoff emphasized the link between health, climate, nutrition, and food systems by utilising locally grown, organically produced, drought-tolerant ingredients as their staple ingredient.
At the end of the cook-off, the Farmhouse Crew team, junior chefs at PEG Farm, Zakiya Barrow and Kye Yearwood, emerged victorious.
Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Barbados, Dr Sonia Brown, was paired with the President of the Queen’s College Interact Club, Alexia Daniel. Executive Director of the Ashley Lashley Foundation and UNICEF Youth Advocate, Ashley Lashley, was paired with PAHO’s Subregional Program Director for the Caribbean, Dean Chambliss.
