Still no news to report on this project. No donations mean it is on hold. The community is still in dire need of a vocational education program since most citizens are illiterate and resort to drug trades or prostitution to support themselves and their families. The children attending Abba's House Children's Center only attend until the age of 16. After that, there are no other options for these children in Cien Fuegos to further their educations. We envision a vocational program wherein Abba's House Children's Center children transition into at age 16 and where adults can start a vocation. The anticipated location will be on the third (to be built) floor of the Center located in Cien Fuegos, Dominican Republic. Students will receive FREE training in mechanics, medical assisting, plumbing, construction, cosmetology, and more so the citizens of Cienfuegos can become self-sufficient and gainfully employed.
