r é n In The Kitchen With: Natalie Hsu Last week, Lolita Granola’s founder Natalie Hsu joined us at Soho House for a cooking workshop with our youths, baking granola cookies together. Natalie is also an award-winning actress, and she shared how a pandemic habit of making granola at home turned into a brand of her own. She also shared how an unexpected first film role changed her path, and how she realised how rare that opportunity was. Read her full interview on our Journal, link in bio.

Last month, our founder @josootang was invited to speak at “Beyond Secondary School”, a panel discussion co-organised by @snnhkg and @seniahongkong hosted at EY. The event focused on providing insights and support to youths with Special Educational Needs (SEN), and their families, on how to navigate life after secondary education. Jo was joined by four other esteemed speakers: @farideshroff of @sensationalfoundation , Dr. Billy Yeung of @nesbittcentre , Maple Wong of @generationhkg , and Dr. Simon T M Ng of @hkapa_edu. Together, the five speakers explored what success looks like for SEN youths and the importance of keeping an open mind, how parents can better prepare their children for the transition into employment, how to find the right career opportunity for them, and how to make that employment sustainable. Before opening the floor to audience questions, the panel also discussed how employers can build more inclusive working environments, a crucial ingredient in ensuring youths with diverse learning needs have the chance to thrive in their workplaces and careers. Conversations like these sit at the heart of what we do, to help open doors to meaningful, sustainable employment for every youth who deserves the chance to thrive. 🫶🏼 HUMANITY GOODNESS FOOD Stand with us | r é n Join the thread | @snnhkg @seniahongkong taken in EY Wavespace HK by @renhk__

Our Work Shadowing Programme with @relish.hk is officially underway. Two of our beneficiaries, Yung Yung and Chun Kit, spent the day there today, getting hands-on time in the kitchen and warehouse as part of their first step into the industry. It’s a paid work experience day, a chance to try the job on for real before anything’s decided, with our counselling and programmes team there to support them throughout. From here, it moves into interviews and a site visit, and for the right fit, a full employment contract alongside enrolment in @rencommunityfoundation Youth Employment Scholarship (YES) Programme. Thank you to @relish.hk for building this with us and giving our youths more opportunities to learn.

r é n in the Kitchen with: @romeo_morel Chef Romeo started in his family’s restaurant in Asti, Piedmont, at just 12 years old, and later left a secure job as a surveyor after three months because it wasn’t making him happy. His journey since has taken him from Abu Dhabi to Singapore and now Hong Kong, where he’s found diners who eat with real consciousness of what’s on the plate. He admitted that even now, he still deals with imposter syndrome. “It’s due to this feeling that I’m still able to continue doing what I love most,” he told us, “because it pushes me to constantly try to improve myself and do better.” Last month, Romeo joined us and @tebo.hk’s chef @sebastianlorenzi for a one night only four hands dinner celebrating our beneficiaries, with Ah Hei right there helping out on the floor.

r é n In The Kitchen with: @edwardvoon74 After three decades in fine dining, Singaporean chef Edward Voon opened his own bistro, VOON, in Kennedy Town last year, an exploration of his identity as a chef and as someone with Southeast Asian heritage. A year on, we sat down with him to see how the journey's gone. With a new neighbourhood, new diners, and a brand new team still learning their way in the kitchen, it hasn't been easy. He's had to slow down and find a patience he didn't always have, but he told us something that stuck with us: "these boys have good hearts... you can see that they want to improve." As he put it, "we all grow through life's conflicts and challenges. We develop alongside both the best and worst people and witness humanity and grace along the way. Loyalty represents status and values, while a trusted relationship transcends financial manipulation." Through it all, he's stayed close to what brought him here in the first place, honouring Southeast Asian cuisine on his own terms, and building something authentically his.

Last week, our beneficiaries under our youth employment programme spent two days building the skills that help them step into the workplace with confidence: resume writing, professional etiquette, english and workplace social skills. Our workshops were held at Pondside, where the team hosted us and our beneficiaries with care. Thank you to our instructors, Bernice and Michelle, for sharing their time and experience so generously. More to come as we continue to prepare our youths for their careers in the future. 💪 HUMANITY GOODNESS FOOD Stand with us | r é n Join the thread | @pondsidehk @bernice.be.nice @michellemmwf by @renhk__
