"My Christian faith has inspired a strong desire to serve and help others. The relentless rise in food insecurity and child food poverty in this Country moved me to set up FoodWise TLC.
I am a strong believer in the principle of ‘Give a man a fish, you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime’.” Foodwise therefore seeks to improve cooking skills to better feed ourselves and our families.
