During September the WOW 7 group, having completed their 6 months of Phase 1 now moved to Phase 2. This involves training, apprenticeships, business or work. Two are training as Motor Bike Mechanics, three are gone to catering, one is welding, one is selling second hand clothes, one is working in a small retail shop and one is selling fruit and vegetables. During this period the young people will continue to be supported with rent for their house and daily allowances as they train. We are also making payments to those who are providing the training to the young people. WOW 8 then began their phase one.
On Friday 1st November the WOW 7 and Proud Mom's had a colourful graduation ceremony. 9 young men and 2 proud mom's were celebrated this day. About 70 people took part in the celebration which included song, dance and motivational speeches from visitors from other partner organisations. Representatives from earlier WOW 3, 4, 5 and 6 groups also came to take part in the festivities and to share their testimonies of how WOW has assisted them in changing their lives for the better. After the event the Graduates went to a local hotel for swimming and cake cutting.
We thank all those who have supported this project on the GlobalGiving platform for making the day a success and for showing the WOW 8's what can be ahead of them.
