Rotary Club of Montebello: People of ACTION
HOPE, EDUCATION, INCLUSION : Nothing more positive
A new year, a new start! RC Montebello under the leadership of President Leena carried out the first project today Friday 21st July 2023.
ANFEN: Adolescent Non-Formal Education Network creates opportunities and facilitates the reinsertion of dropout students into society once they have completed their training through either internships or placements.
Members of RC Montebello with the special support of PP Reihaz Ismail and Farouk Hossen Opticians had the opportunity to meet the team of ECAL: Ecole Culinaire Aline Leal and handed over a cheque to support them financially in the hospitality sector. These youngsters are trained in the field of food and beverage, and it was marvelous to learn about their progress. Mrs Bertha Wan and her team explained the journey of these youngsters and most interesting was the way they demonstrated their skills by preparing snacks and welcoming all members of RC Montebello.
Rotary International Theme of the year 2023-2024 is CREATE HOPE IN THE WORLD. Today as a family, RC Montebello demonstrated this aspect by supporting these students, by believing in them and by encouraging them to join the industry. Getting these youngsters back in society and allowing them later to earn their living and support their family is INCLUSION.
President Leena expressed her heartfelt thanks to all members of the club for their support and presence which contributed to the great success of this wonderful project. Gratitude to PP Reihaz and Farouk Hossen Opticians for sponsoring the project. Life does not stop without an academic certificate since each one is meant to contribute to the society using their hidden talents.
