STORY:
This container truck is roaming the streets of Manila carrying a lot more than just a complete kitchen on wheels.
这台在马尼拉街上漫游的货柜车，轮子上承载着的，不只是一套完整的厨房。
The “EntrepBus" is actually a culinary school that dispenses gastronomic skills in the form of short courses in cooking and baking to the unemployed in Manila’s poor communities.
事实上，这台 “事业巴士” 是一个烹饪学校，它以短期的烹调和烘焙课程的形式，传授烹饪学的技术给马尼拉贫穷社区失业的人们。
The mobile cooking school’s curriculum includes food preparation and presentation along with the business aspects of setting up restaurants and eateries.
这间行动烹饪学校的课程，包括了食材准备和食物呈现，以及开设餐厅及饭馆商业上的各种面向。
[Joed Finocus, Assistant Chef]:
“This bus can help people learn how to manage their livelihood and develop their interest in cooking. They’ll be able to learn how to cook various cuisines."
[Joed Finocus，助理厨师]：
“这座巴士可以帮助人们学习如何打理他们的生计，并且发展他们在烹饪上的兴趣。他们将可学到如何做出各式各样的菜肴。”
Entrebus has no problem finding students in this time of recession, most of whom are mothers, housewives, unemployed workers, and out-of-school youth.
事业巴士在现在这个经济衰退潮找学生并不构成问题，他们大多数为母亲、家庭主妇、失业工人，以及辍学青年。

Even graduates with hotel and restaurant management diplomas, like 19-year-old Weena Villaranda, find the practical and hands-on course useful.
即使是拥有饭店及餐厅管理文凭的毕业生，就像是十九岁的Weena Villaranda，也发现这里的实务及动手作课程很有用。
