Enjoy a great meal at someone's home ... and help refugees at the same time. That's the idea behind a new initiative called "Cook4Chance". It's a partnership between the meal-sharing platform Meetsies and an NGO called Kiron which is helping refugees learn coding to become web developers. How it works: Amateur chefs put on dinners at their home, and donate a % of the fee to Cook4Chance. Our reporter Richard Harris spoke to a 19-year-old Syrian refugee called Nader ... and some of the organisers behind the scheme. www.meetsies.com/Kiron
