By Leave a Comment

A knife is the soul and hearth of every chef in the world. All the main action in the kitchen start with a single slice of a knife. Our student learns the importance of this skill and how to hone it properly.

In this session, the students are introduced with different kinds of knives such as the chef’s knife, paring knife, utility knife, cleaver knife, and many more.

There are some things that we need to know when we would like to use a knife. First, we have to make sure that we use a sharp knife because that will make your slice is good. Second, always clean your knife after using it to protect your knife from rusting. The other important thing is you have to know how to hone a knife properly to keep it sharp and keep the quality of your slice.

This class provides important learning for the students, especially for those who wish to focus their career in Food & Beverage Production.

Beach Clean Up to Open 2020!

Rainy season in Bali can be quite challenging, although it is a blessing for nature, on the beaches you will find a lot of trash that has been washed up by the heavy rains and storms. One part of the Bali WISE program is to go on a beach cleanup activity with R.O.L.E. Foundation. Arriving at the location, we noticed that the beach was on high tide, but we still found a lot of waste at the beach.

Together with Hilton Bali Resort, SD 2 Benoa and any other participants, we go along the beach with empty rice sacks to collect the wastes. We found many microplastics, ranging from styrofoam, beverage bottles, instant noodles, shampoo sachets, food packages, sandals, and used clothes that were either left by visitors or carried by the waves from the sea. 181,58 kg of garbage were collected that day.

After the activities, all participants were served by Hilton Bali Resort with some refreshments and drinks. We all had a good discussion about how to save the ocean by reducing the use of plastic in our daily routine. It is very delightful to see the clean beach.

Huge thanks to all participants for collaborating with us to take the action as a form of our concern for the environment and encouraging everyone to care more about the environment and waste management. We couldn’t have done this without all our incredible collaborators from teams, volunteers, and people like you!

Bali WISE Basic Education Class | Intake 42 – Week 10 | Shark Conservation Workshop| Thu, 12th Dec 2019 – Ibu Lyn⠀
⠀
Bali WISE students had Shark Conservation Workshop. This workshop aims to increase awareness of the importance of sharks and the threats they are facing. As an apex predator, sharks are crucial to marine ecosystems yet are experiencing a global decline. During the workshop, students learned how to identify local shark species and their characteristics, what is causing their rapid reduction in numbers and how they can help stop this catastrophic loss.⠀
⠀
Sharks often get a bad reputation because people don’t understand a lot about them. They exist in every marine ecosystem. Sharks have presided over those ecosystems as apex predators for millions of years. Now, sharks are being eliminated by a relatively new apex predator from which sharks have no natural protection. Here the students learned how to conserve sharks and protect their population, by not supporting shark fin trade and unsustainable fishing, also keep the marine environment clean.
