Volunteering in Bangkok with In Search of Sanuk: Previous video with Dwight and his Courageous Kitchen Project: Just after getting back from our trip to Malaysia (lots of videos from Penang to come soon, I hung out with my friend Dwight Turner for the day. Dwight and I have been friends in Bangkok for many years, and hes the founder of In Search of Sanuk, a non-profit organization that helps people through having fun, and sometimes through food. One of his biggest projects is a Saturday project where he and a number of volunteers help teach kids and do activities with them. Some kids learned English while others played games and did crafts. But the highlight of the day was cooking, and its something many of the kids really enjoy doing and learning. Many of the kids in this area dont know about proper nutrition or or even proper ways to cook food, and so one of Dwight biggest project is bringing food into the equation. On this day volunteering in Bangkok, the kids cooked spring rolls. The spring rolls included cabbage, carrots, and a mixture of vegetables, all wrapped up, and deep fried to a golden crisp. Once all the spring rolls were fried, we ate lunch together with all the kids - we ate spring rolls, eggs, and rice. After hanging out for more of the morning and into the middle of the afternoon. Dwight and I returned to his house where he cooked up some mackerel which he had in the fridge and which needed to be eaten. The mackerel, cooked up with tomato sauce, was excellent. For dinner, in honor of World Refugee Day 2015, we went to a venue in Bangkok that was hosting a refugee dinner to raise money. There were many types of food available including Somali food and plenty of people selling Pakistani food. I enjoyed a delicious bowl of Pakistani mutton leg stew with naan, some different types of kebabs, and a big plate mixture of Somali food. It was a wonderful day in Bangkok, Thailand, first volunteering with Dwight, then going to the a World Refugee Day 2015 food fundraiser. this video

Mark I have watched so many vedios of yours and this is the only vedio I have seen you trying any Somali food I hope it would not be the last. You don't have to go to travel to Somalia to try my culture food. Somali people are all over the world and please do me some favor to research to find friend who can make homemaid meals or Somali restaurant anywhere around the world. I promise you wouldn't regret.

Hi MarkI find it very great of you that you committed yourself and for those organizations and support. You can never leave children enough support and help to comeA good and healthy nutrition is important for all of us. Just as important as a good school education.

It is such a nice things you did there You guys are kind-hearted. And, the bazar foods looks amazing. P/s: I just chuckled at the beginning of the video when youtube's auto closed caption (CC) translate Penang to 'peeing'. Haha. Not your fault though.

Mark you eat the ethnic food from Somali. Anjero can be eating with anything and anytime. But most Somalis eat it in the morning with fresh sesame oil, honey or sugar, and hot tea. The best breakfast ever.

As a Thai myself, I am not familiar with volunteering in Thailand. (I live in Denmark) Makes me want to give a hand (or two) to help other people. Thank you, Mark and your friend for showing us around: -)
