Chef Ida’s Bolanday Cooking For Kids

Bolanday Cooking for Kids is an inspiring initiative of Chef Ida. It aims to feed and teach kids in need.

This inspiring initiative just shows how big-hearted Chef Ida is.❤️

Bolanday Cooking For Kids

The mission of Bolanday Cooking for Kids is to:

“Get Manila’s kids off the streets, into the classrooms, helping them shape a life with prospects and dignity.”

Chef Ida tirelessly and continuously tries to fulfill this mission, come hell or high water.

Right after Typhoon Ulysses, she was out in Tondo feeding the kids. There’s just no stopping her.

Suffice to say, Bolanday Cooking for Kids is deeply committed to enhancing the lives of street kids.

Why We Love Chef Ida

There are a couple of reasons why Chef Ida has endeared herself to us here on EatMyBananas. First of all, we share a common background. We all spent a good part of our lives working for an airline.

Chef Ida flew for Cathay Pacific. I flew for our flag carrier. Chef-Mom Lea flew for another local carrier and MOM MAjoy for a carrier in the Middle East. There’s just no doubt that Chef Ida has leveled up our airline background. 😊

Seriously, Chef Ida is in a league of her own. When everyone else is staying home, trying to make it safe for the whole family; she is out, making sure the street kids are cared for.
