This year 23 young people who are hardworking and bright, but can’t afford to pay school fees, have access to secondary school in Malawi through Care in Action. This is opening opportunities for work and higher education.
Care in Action regularly facilitates job orientation programmes, where we provide teenagers in care with insight and skills necessary for a successful start in the world of work.
The festival is a flurry of fun activities designed to help children discover new interests, showcase their talents and build self-esteem, and there are special workshops for caregivers too.
Care in Action was proud to host 128 parents and children in 2 four day camps designed to improve the quality of foster parenting through support and training events.
“Perhaps for the first time ever,” noted Youth Worker, Yaryna Ponizhay, “I witnessed how adults, all very influential people in L’viv, were listening to the children.”
How can children in care prepare to earn a living? There are plenty of ways and everyone needs to find their own. But a couple of universal skills top the list for paying back future value, and one of these is good working English.
