Raymonde Rival, Minister of Youth, Sports and Action launched this week the 4th promotion of the "Ecole l'Espoir" (Hope School) Mikaël Sylvestre "The vocational training of our young people is undoubtedly the strategic axis on which it is necessary to count to slow down the increasing tendency to juvenile delinquency in the country..." declared the Minister, convinced that the development of the country depends on the supervision, the integration and the empowerment of our youth.

About a hundred young people, in their twenties on average, make up this 4th promotion from "Ecole l'Espoir", who will benefit from training in the fields of computer science, masonry, carpentry and auto mechanics.

On the sidelines of this launching ceremony, which took place in the presence of the authorities of the municipality who applauded this decision, the beneficiaries expressed their satisfaction to participate in this program and promise to make the most of it. They also expressed the wish to see this program welcome a greater number of participants during the next session.

Ronald Gilmus, Director of the "Ecole l'Espoir", promised, in addition to the quality training offered as part of this program, to introduce young people to entrepreneurship in order to help them create themselves and seize new opportunities when jobs are scarce and needs remain. He invites participants to use this training to start improving their living conditions and do everything possible to actively participate in the development of their community, of their country.
