It’s been 1 year since Haiti was struck by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake that killed over 2,200 people & destroyed 135,000+ homes. WCK’s deep roots in Haiti—since José first began working there after the devastating 2010 earthquake—allowed our team to begin cooking immediately.
In 2015, WCK partnered with the Haitian Dept of Education to create a professional culinary arts training program that, after 2 years, evolved into École des Chefs—WCK’s own culinary school. The school is run by Chef Mi-sol Chevallier, one of the most respected chefs in Haiti.
