CEVER is a 20 year old vocational/trade school in Yoro for young men & women (grade 7 and up) who are interested in learning 5 areas:

1) auto mechanics 2) industrial mechanics 3) soldering/welding 4) woodcarving 5)sewing and soon to be added, 6) cooking & restaurant classes.

Fees are 1) Registration (370 Lempira, about $19); 2) entrance requirements (750-1000 Lempira, about $50) and 3) monthly tuition (300 Lempira, about $15).  Students progress at their own rate, thru "modules"; most finish in less than 2 years. There are no dormitory facilities, so at this time, most of the students are from the Yoro area.

I have toured the school and found it to be very professional & clean. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone reading this who is interested in education and young people to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in someone's life and consider sponsoring a deserving young man or woman. In this poverty-stricken area, a young person with no skills hasn't much of a chance to make something of their life.  But with a little education and training, this can happen for them.  Most  Honduran families do not have the extra $100 to even consider this in the first place. And many of us may not have that extra $100 either, but I humbly ask those reading this, to consider budgeting and sponsoring a young person to CEVER.  If you care to not sponsor someone, would you please consider making a donation to the school?  If you would like, please contact me at 256-351-1271, after 4pm.  Linda
