Join us for a festive YASC Mexican meal...prepared by you! We will be making enchiladas verdes, a traditional Mexican dish with a unique flavor and a very long history dating back to the Mayas. Their delicious taste has made them a popular menu in Mexico and other parts of the world. We will also learn how to make ponche de manzana (apple punch) and platanos flameados con ron (flamed plantains with rum). You will receive the recipes and shopping list a few days before the event.
 
Please join us as we prepare a yummy savory dish, a unique drink, and a sweet delight with this time honored ancient beauty that has sustained Mexican culture and migrated around the world to feed us all!
 
Hosted by Chef Danielle Morgan ’00 YSN, Peru 2023 Trip Co-Producer, with special guest Carlos Montes de Oca from Mexico.

Join us for a pilot virtual book club conducted between Yale Alumni Service Corps (YASC) and Amandla Development with Grade 9 learners. The purpose of the pilot is to establish a structure for future book clubs (to include Grade 7 and Grade 4) using a model that incorporates lessons learned from the YASC Amandla June/July 2021 project.

Amandla Development is a South African nonprofit, founded by Yale alumnus Scott Clarke ’02, based in Philippi, a “township” in Cape Town. Almost 50% of Philippi’s youth drop out of school. However, education in a township is also about safety, nutrition, healthcare, community support, and access to and availability of resources. Such a layered, complex problem demands a layered, complex response. This is where Amandla comes in, and is the focus of the work they do.
