POVERTY and
INEQUALITY
In Jamaica
Education, skills training, and providing nutritious food for students leads the way!
The Salisbury Pastoral Charge of
the United Church of Canada in Salisbury N. B is helping to break the
debilitating conditions of poverty and inequality found in the Island of
Jamaica. How are we doing this? Our Student Missions Project is supporting struggling
young adults in Jamaica. The program provides a weekly allowance for transportation, food, personal incidentals {clothing} and some registration fees, for the training programs at the Theodora Skills Training
Center in Negril. The monies we collect
are send directly to the admiration of the School to assist selected students
who make the commitment to complete a certified course at the Theodora Skills Training Center in Negril Jamaica. The Center, which is located in a very high
tourist and hotel area of island is constantly in need for certified employees
in Computer IT, housekeeping, cosmetology, and lifeguard & first aid. The Center which is at the present time
operating mainly by volunteers and generous givers is always looking for funds
and ways to expand what programs might be offered. Have I cough your interest? We
need your Help! Want more information on how you can help?
