CARD was pleased to host Matthew Bryza, the American Ambassador to Azerbaijan on 4th May 2011 as part of his tour of the regions in recognition of PeaceCorps 50th Anniversary.
Vivian McIngvale, CARD's PeaceCorps volunteer showed the Ambassador her Cooking for Business training that she is providing at CARD to SOS mothers.

Vivian and her students were able to show the Ambassador the 'pirosjki' they were cooking, some with traditional Azeri/Russian filling and some with an American influence.
Everyone was in agreement how delicious they tasted and the numerous visitors and film crews as part of the entourage quickly gobbled them up!
