Have fun while helping others

1

We are a group of European volunteers doing our placement in differentdepartments of YMCA Bournemouth. Now, as many people around the world, we are working from home and can perfectly understand that time is passing slowly and we need something fun to occupy ourselves during the day. We’ve been working so hard in some challenges that could do your day more interesting.

While quarantine and as a charity we are part of, we also want to continue helping others that are in a difficult situation and that’s why sometimes we ask you for a donation. With a little, you can do a difference!

Get your imagination ready and enjoy!

Bake in a heated oven at 160°C for about 30 minutes. If you have a smaller baking pan and therefore a higher dough, you need to bake it longer.The surface of the brownies should be firm to the touch, slightly shiny and dry. If you stick a stick in the dough, the dough should remain moist.
