Step
by Step
Working for GSB means trying to help disadvantaged youth
gain all the life skills and professional knowledge that
will allow them to find a long term job. The journey our
clients embark on is long and full of fallbacks. They need
to learn a new lifestyle and a job but they also have to
fight their own fears and the belief that they can not make
it without help from others. The story of Enana shows to
all of us that there is hope for those who want a better
future.
Enana was abandoned in her early childhood and she was institutionalized
in the Beius orphanage. In July 2001 Enana started working
in the GSB restaurant. In August 2003 GSB found her a job
at bakery in Finis, a small village 5 km from Beius. Enana
works daily from 5 pm until 6 am making bread. She has been
able to keep her job and go to work every morning notwithstanding
many difficulties: the commute in bad weather during wintertime,
the low salary and the hardness of the job.
Enana has been a good example for the others youngsters.
GSB is now working to help her by raising additional funds
to subsidize her wage and to secure a long-term accommodation
that she can call "home".
