Hello everyone, My name is Gabriel, a 35-year-old culinary enthusiast from Verviers, Belgium. My story is that of a child who dreamed big, guided by the unconditional love of exceptional parents. Growing up in a loving family, I remember moments of happiness shared despite financial challenges. My parents, generous souls, instilled in me values of hard work, determination, and love for life. After spreading my wings, I found my calling in the culinary world, a realm where my passion transformed into a flourishing career. From apprentice to young aspiring chef, each step brought me closer to my ultimate dream: creating a European culinary school in Thailand. In 2016, a painful turning point reminded me of life's fragility. The loss of my father was a catalyst, propelling me to seize every opportunity with resilience and determination. As an accomplished chef, I decided to immerse myself in the richness of Thai cuisine in 2023. However, life, full of twists, presented an unexpected challenge. Laid off in December, I now face insurmountable financial difficulties. The landlord refuses to pay the notice period, forcing me to live without a salary until September 2024. This situation triggered a cascade of challenges, even preventing me from accessing unemployment to meet essential needs. Today, I share with you a dream that transcends my current difficulties. I wish to establish a culinary school in Thailand, a place where European culinary passion can thrive in an exotic environment. This school would be more than an educational institution—it would mirror my journey, perseverance, and determination to create something meaningful. I appeal to your generosity and support to turn this dream into reality. Every contribution matters, every share makes a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this adventure. Join me in creating something extraordinary, and let us be the architects of a flavorful future. With gratitude, Gabriel Dahmen PS: I am open to any discussion; feel free to send me a message on Facebook to verify my authenticity! Best regards! <3
