The groups begin cooking at 7:00 each morning. In this camp, Camp 19, there are 13 community kitchens where several dozen women cook each day. Subash Chandranath(in a World Vision vest) is a community kitchen volunteer. He makes sure the gas tanks are full, watches how the women cook, and makes sure they have enough water in the filters. Subash can cook a bit himself. “I learned how to cook from my mother,” he says. “I have to cook myself and now I cook since I’m working here.” It’s nice, he says. “I don’t have to eat from a hotel. I can eat fresh food.” Does he advise them on how to cook? No, he says, with a smile. “They are better cooks than me.” More than cooking takes place at this community kitchen. “We are also training them to cook nutritious food, hygiene, and birth registry issues,” says Subash. “They have meetings here. We teach how to cook the properly—to wash [vegetables] first.” He explains how the women were chosen: “We had a meeting of 50 members of this community. We selected the poor, those who couldn’t buy gas or firewood. Pregnant women and ill woman.” The women have really bonded, he says. “They talk to each other and share their experiences of Myanmar,” he says. “Sometimes I talk to them. They are very sad to share their stories. They had a life in Myanmar. Now they now have nothing.” Subash does more than equip the kitchen with what it needs to operate. “I comfort them,” he says. “I don’t think they are refugees. They are our guests. We give them comfort and try to make them feel at home.” Tasmin, (no last name, in black hijab) cooks at the community kitchen with her daughter, Umme Rehan, 11. So does Muhcena Akter, 22, (in orange head scarf) who is not married. “It’s really goo
