This is the health peers signing out for the summer! Thank you for an amazing year and we will back in September.

Find out why Zahraa loves the community cooking workshops by visiting the post below!

I’m involved with Cooking Workshops as an SFU Health Peer; we hold workshops on a weekly basis to create healthy recipes for international students and residents living on campus. I started out as a participant of one of the workshops, and later I got the opportunity to be an administrator. Since people are living away from home, it’s easier to buy fast food; that is why it’s important we teach them the benefits of healthy eating and how it can even be cheaper than buying prepared food. I wasn’t good at cooking at first, but I learnt a lot by finding recipes and putting them together. As someone who doesn’t cook that often, I know that if someone like me can do it, then the participants can do it. I really enjoyed working together as a team – we had to work together to come up with recipes, coordinate amongst each other, and ensure that the recipes were considered healthy. I also loved working with all different kinds of people. That was unique: I got to work with a really diverse group of students."
