simple nutritious meals a day, given uniforms and books, and educated towards

restaurant (teaches cooking but cooks all the meals) a laundry (teaching
skills for housekeeping jobs) a child care centre, a sewing school (who also
make the uniforms) a gardening section (who beautify the grounds) a
hairdressing school, a bakery (where everybody gets delicious fresh French
bread during the day) and a new mechanical school (which will ultimately
maintain their vehicles). The school has about 750 children on the vocational
side and almost 2000 on the general education side – and almost every single
child graduating with vocational qualifications goes into a job and has the
opportunity to break the grinding cycle of permanent
poverty.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

absolutely no idea of the subject, the discussion or the questions being asked
