Asia Pacific Zone-Cambodia

Disciples Escoffier Cambodia bearing hope

As the entire world is affected by COVID-19, some cities in particular, such as Phnom Penh in Cambodia, are on the front lines of this unprecedented crisis.
Despite this difficult context, the Disciples of the Cambodia delegation are fully dedicated to responding to this crisis in order to ensure the health and safety of citizens and to meet the needs of the most vulnerable populations.
On 19 April 2021, Cambodian authorities issued an order designating "red zones", zones of increased confinement in which there is a significant number of cases of COVID.
Residents of these areas are subject to the most restrictive confinement measures in the country, including the prohibition of leaving their home except for specific medical reasons. 
Many have been unable to obtain food, medicine and other necessities for weeks.
Low-income communities where many people lost their jobs during the Covid-19 economic crisis were particularly affected by these restrictions. In addition to movement restrictions that make it difficult to buy food and other basic necessities, residents in the red areas face shortages and price increases for food and other essential products.

Following this catastrophic situation, the Disciples Escoffier Cambodia could not remain insensitive and have taken action. Volunteers would rotate daily to ensure that an average of 500 meals per day are prepared, packaged and distributedDeli Bistro Gourmet Phnom Penh, under the leadership of its chef Pierre Favitski, has been transformed into a warehouse, used for both the production and packaging of meals.

This health crisis has finally shown us other ways of living together: incredible solidarity has developed and this confinement has shown us all the more how important social relations and living together are to our societies.
On the occasion of the International Day of Living Together in Peace, Richard Gillet, President of the Cambodia delegation, his office and the Disciples call for the cooperation and solidarity of all and count on your generosity to support their action.

Zone France - Delegation Grand Lyon Ain Loire

Distribution of meals on the Place du Marché Augagneur

A man with a big heart hides behind this incredible action carried out since March in Lyon, on the Augagneur market.
Christophe Geoffroy, Disciple Escoffier but also President of the Association “Les chefs du monde” is a tireless enthusiast and especially has solidarity flowing through his veins.
Every Sunday, in his Food Truck, he invites a chef over and together they prepare delicious take-out meals.
The concept: for every meal sold, a meal is offered to a person in need.

The Disciples of the delegation such as Alexandre Porceillon head at the Domaine du Gouverneur, Sebastien Lericolais head At the edge of the Saône and finalist of the World Championship of Pâté en Croûte, as well as the MOF Fromager Christian Janier participated in this action.

Between 30 and 200 dishes every Sunday since the month of March, we’ll let you do the math for the number of meals served to people in great precariousness!
