N'ecos Field Trip - 14th October, 2010

Today, a total of 14 little children of 6 families from the Karachi Home Education group visited N'ecos Organic Store and Cafe for a field trip.

After a welcome, they were given a guided tour of the kitchen, cashier, store and accounts office by the proprietor, who explained the meaning of organic products to them.

Some of the products in the store.

Finally, they were given a live demo of how muffins are prepared from scratch. The children loved this part of the entire trip (but of course they loved eating the yummy chocolate cupcakes even more!)

The chef kindly allowed each child to put a spoonful of batter in the muffin tin.

At the end, every child got a chocolate cupcake (prepared beforehand separately) with a small glass of hormone-free chocolate milk.

The cupcakes were delicious.

The chocolate milk shots were also enjoyed by all.

The cost per child of this trip was Rs 250. Let's hope more such enjoyable learning excursions can be arranged for our homeschooled children in the future too, insha'Allah.
