A carpentry workshop to build the future
In the Ro' la Formichina Social Cooperative of the Pope John XXIII Community, for more than twenty years young people coming from prison and young people with disabilities have been learning a trade, an indispensable tool to start a new life. We have planned a larger carpentry workshop to give work and opportunities to even more people. Help us build it and together let's give a different future to our young people.
For almost twenty years in the Ro' la Formichina Social Cooperative of the Pope John XXIII Community, between the carpentry workshop, the honey workshop, the workshop for the recovery of used clothes and the day centre for disabled young people, people who are considered disadvantaged by the world of work are employed every day: young people coming from prison and young people with disabilities excluded from the world of work. Like raw wood discarded by everyone, here they are welcomed, worked, their surface is filed to bring out their full potential. In the carpentry workshop, while they build custom-made furniture, musical instruments, sacred objects, wine boxes or beehives, they also reconstruct a different image of themselves. First of all thanks to the trust they have received from those who have given them an opportunity.
There are many young people who ask us for work and help, but in the small carpentry shop that is now based in Santa Venerina (CT) we cannot accommodate them. The Sicilian territory suffers from poverty and lack of opportunities, which feed crime and many of our boys soon stop imagining their future. Instead, in our laboratory we can help them to see a new panorama. That's why we want to build a great new laboratory.
The land has already been purchased but now we need the support of many people to realize this project.
Help us with a donation, now, and let's start building a different future for our youth today.
