The Leo Club of Georgetown in collaboration with the Men’s Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Social Protection is inviting young men and fathers to participate in its Project, “U-Turn”, which begins tomorrow.
U-Turn is aimed at equipping men between the ages of 17 and 27 with skills, knowledge and resources needed to become better fathers to their children and better men in their communities.
Among other objectives, the project is hoping to assist some of its participants with partial sponsorship to pursue studies at the Government Technical Institute, the Guyana Industrial Training centre and other tertiary institutions. The project entails three major activities:
