crime prevention, drug/alcohol misuse,
sexual education and support for ex-gang
members.
We also had 10charity fun days, where we
invited tourists and local children to enjoy
fun games football, basketball and a hot
meal together. These proved popular and
encouraged social inclusion, the local
children are starting to learn not to be
fearful of not speaking the language of all
nationalities. We are working on a program
that will help the local youth be more
confidant when they enter the work place.
In Cape Verde, children have access to
free and compulsory education for 8years
however, equipment is not free. We started
a project to provide students wii.h the
essential school supplies to enable them to
fully participate in education. pens, pencils,
notepads etc.
We provided those in need food parcels,
clothing and personal care packages. This
was supported by 1500 kg of donations
received from tourists using free charity
luggage via tui and a shipment of clothing
sent from the UK by ourselves.
