Betreuerabend Thanksgiving 2008
As a symbol of appreciation to the mentors who generously host the Bosch Fellows at their organizations, the Fellowship Foundation organized a Thanksgiving event dinner at the Victoria Restaurant in the Kreuzberg Berlin. These mentors come from the high echelons in their organizations and agreed to have a Bosch Fellow work in their office from October to December 2008.
This event was a huge success!
This unconventional evening consisted of Fellows first working alongside their mentors in cooking hand-picked traditional Thanksgiving dishes based on recipes the Fellows brought from home. Chopping celery for the stuffing, peeling sweet potatoes, grating cheese for the mac & cheese, and preparing drinks were just a few of the many things we did in the restaurant's kitchen. The entire restaurant was reserved for our group of about 30.
After our cooking, the dinner was incredibly delicious and fun - with Fellows, mentors, and Bosch Foundation staff feasting and enjoying the evening family-style. A great night to 'give thanks' to our mentors who have been so helpful in shaping our first Work Stage here in Berlin.

Fellows and mentors hard at work in the kitchen: cooking in a restaurant kitchen is lots of fun!
The gorgeous dinner setting: I took this right before we all sat down for dinner.
