From Sales to Agriculture

The last stage of our program consists of providing young people with different professional experiences. We offer them various activities such as the manufacture and sale of donuts or traditional juice, agriculture, or even masonry. They choose according to their interests. This step has two purposes: First, we want to allow them to acquire transferable professional skills such as punctuality, rigor at work or teamwork. For these young people, it is often their first work experience, so they have a lot of things to work on and this is an opportunity for them to do so if they want to. Some enthusiastically embrace this part of the program, but others drag their feet into it and it is usually the ones who end up returning to the streets.
