Dreams taking flight

The Dreams Taking Flight work program began Wed. Nov. 4th. I took five boys to drop their resumes at four businesses. After arriving back at the center, I received a phone call asking me to come meet with the new owners of Cash-n-Carry (America's Costco). They wanted to know about the work program and the boys. I explained my goal to break the poverty cycle of as many youth in this generation as possible. Before I left, they asked me to pick five boys to begin work on Wednesday, Nov. 12th! Praise the Lord....He is sooo amazing! Please pray for this program and for more doors to open - there are 12 more who wish to go to work. Some of the boys wanting work have been at the center for eight and 10 years. Most of these young men have never had jobs in the public sector before. They are learning what a resume is, how to go to businesses and ask for work, and how to be successful in job interviews. It is also helping to build their self-esteem, character and integrity. To see their eyes light up and smiles on their faces after they have successfully spoken to a prospective employer representative is priceless!
