MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur (PIA)--Some 25 out-of-school youths (OSYs) in the city were joyous to have achieved another milestone as they completed the technical and vocational education training initiated by World Vision Philippines through its Urban Child Protection and Participation Project (UCPPP) Year 1.
In partnership with the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education- Technical Education and Skills Development (MBHTE-TESD) and Provincial/City Manpower Development Center (PCMDC), the 25 beneficiaries underwent a Tile Setting NCII training course for 15 days and received their start-up kits after completion of the training.
Abdul Muloz Andullah, one of the trainees, affirmed how beneficial the training was, especially since he was not able to finish college due to financial constraints.
He stated that completing the training opened him to a new experience that could alleviate his life.
“Maraming salamat sa World Vision. Nakakatulong ito kasi sa experience sa makapag-aral. Pwedeng iyong hindi nakapag-aralan at nakapagtapos ay natulungan ng World Vision,” said Andullah.
[Thank you to World Vision. This can help with the experience of studying. Even those who do not have educational attainment and did not finish were helped by World Vision.]
Another trainee Ashraf Corot thanked the organization as well for extending its effort to youths like him.
He shared that although he graduated from college, he still needed new skills to secure his livelihood.
“Kailangan na may maidagdag na kaalaman. Kahit college graduate, kailangan ko magkaexperience para maiapply ko. Nagpapasalamat ako kasi malaking tulong ito kasi nadadagdagan ang aming skills,” said Corot.
[There has to be additional knowledge. Although I am a college graduate, I need to have experience to be able to apply. I am thankful because this is a big help since another skill was added.]
For trainee Mohaimen Cosain, he prayed that another intervention similar to this would likewise be delivered to teens like him.
“Maraming salamat sa ganito na ibinigay ng World Vision at TESD kasi malaki talagang tulong na nakapagtraining kami. Marunong na kami magtiles ngayon. Sana maulit pa ang pagtatiles sa iba,” he said.
[Thank you so much for this that was given by World Vision and TESD because it is a big help that we were trained. We already know how to tile. I hope this tile [setting training] can be done to others.]
Andullah, Corot, and Cosain were just three of the 25 benefiting OSYs coming from Barangays Cadayonan 1 & 2, Tuca Ambolong, Malimono and Rapasun. (CRG/PIA-10/Lanao del Sur)
