TEACH A PERSON TO FISH
AND THEY EAT FOR A LIFETIME
"Teach youth a SKILL and they potentially have
employment for a lifetime!"
When mother taught the youth at Jeremiah House to sew - she taught them to make some great items, little did we know what the result would be. The youth were given choices to be involved and interestingly enough, it was the boys that wanted to learn the most.
After mom returned home to Arizona - the sewing did not stop at Jeremiah House. We have LOTS OF ITEMS FOR SALE NOW - with sales we are helping the youth to purchase more materials, and give you a beautiful Kyrgyz item that represents all that an orphan experiences and can have when someone cares - really cares. Youth are given 1/2 of the profits. 1/2 goes to purchase new fabric and the other goes to them. Out of their 1/2; .......2/3 goes into a savings account in their name and 1/3 goes into their pocket!
Yes, these youth feel worth and value. They know they are loved and respected. AND THEY HAVE LEARNED A SKILL! Let's help our transitioning youth in their move toward adulthood.
