Summer School for Children without Parents

Dear Friends,
As we are nearing the end of your full year program, we are looking forward to this year's summer academy.
This summer we will pair our participating youths with entreprenuers in order to give them the chance of apprenticeship. Earlier in the full year program, we had a career advisor spend some time with the children in order to identify the carrers they are interested in. As a result of this initiative, every child received a roadmap to the
carreer of thie choice. Part of this roadmap is of course a summer job or internship. We are currently working on identifying and contacting potential employers and convincing them to mentor our participating youths. This is sometimes a very tough goal as the most challenging aspect is ensuring that the youth we work with maintain consistence attendance to their work duties and do not give up because of minor difficultires. We're working out together with various friends and business contacts relevant summer internship opportunities for our target youth. Quite a few of them are interested in the restaurant business, having gone through cooking courses at their vocational schools, so we'll be looking to place them in that sector. For many of them, having a driving license, on top of a vocational skill, will open up more professional opportunities, so we'll likely offer scholarships for driving lessons to them. We'll keep you posted about more concrete plans as we finalize the upcoming summer arrangements.
We would like to take the chance to thank you for you unconditional support.
You can always contact us with any suggestions and/or comments.
Best Regards,
