Haiti - Training : Donation of tool kits for more than 230 young professionals 28/12/2015 09:15:41
Let's recall that ASAP accepts tool donations at its Peachtree City, Georgia location and then utilizes volunteers to help refurbish and package the tools, both new and used. From there, the tool kits are sent to vocational training programs in Haiti to help graduates prepare for future work. Tools are expensive and students graduating from carpentry, electrical, plumbing, auto repair and other similar training programs need tools and can’t afford to buy the tools they need for work. "The partnership with ASAP has helped Haitian graduates gain employment and break the cycle of poverty," says Father Mark Hyde, executive director of Salesian Missions, the U.S. development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco. "Many Salesian students do not have the financial resources to purchase the tools of their trade and find it challenging after graduation to be fully ready for the workforce. This donation will prepare students for that next step and make them more employable." Salesian-run technical and vocational training centers are operated throughout Haiti. Those in Port-au-Prince and its surrounding offer courses in a variety of professional fields such as catering, woodworking, agriculture and hotel management. Additional centers in Fort Liberté and Cap-Haitien specialize in the fields of health, agriculture, information technology, electricity and hotel management. All of these centers, as well as other Salesian-run programs in the country, focus on providing youth with the educational opportunities and social support they need to succeed. Learn more about the Congregation of the Salesians of Don Bosco : The Salesians of Don Bosco arrived in Haiti, 27 May 1936 and started operations with the opening of the Vocational Training Centre "Ecole Nationale des Arts et Métiers" (ENAM) in Port-au-Prince. Currently, they are present in the North East, North, Artibonite, West and South with a total of 10 communities and 72 religious : priests and laity, in Fort Liberté, Cap-Haitien, Gonaïves, Port au Prince (Drouillard, Cité Soleil, Fleuriot, ENAM, and OPEPB Lakou-Lakay), Petion Ville, Thorland Gressier, and Les Cayes. They welcome more than 32,000 young people of the most disadvantaged sectors of the society, providing a quality education, not only through education and vocational training, but also, through informal education, qualification for the job, the attention to street children and other services.
