Monday, December 7, 2009 – The Organization – Holistic Opportunities for
Personal Empowerment – HOPE, has been busy translating its mandate from words to
action since its launch in March, 2009.
One of the communities to benefit from HOPE support is the community of Ciceron,
through its Each One Reach One initiative. Project Coordinator of HOPE Darnell
Bobb, says the organization welcomes initiatives that are geared towards
creating employment avenues for jobless young people.
“There are no perimeters to the HOPE programme in terms of what proposals can be
sent in for consideration; as long as it provides employment to unemployed
persons we would consider it favourably as long as the funds are there for
that,”Bobb said.
He says the youth project, which identifies music as a means of generating
employment, and providing inspiration to youth in Ciceron, is one of HOPE's
success stories.
“I encourage persons who are out there from different communities who have
proposals geared towards the development of themselves and other young persons
to identify a project that will benefit your community. When you have identified
a project, come into our office where you will receive a standard proposal form
that you can fill in and return to the office,” Bobb said.
HOPE has also collated a database of unemployed persons and is reminding
employers to utilize this service when looking for persons to recruit into their
organizations.
