The project team and youth are very proud of the student uniforms being modeled here by two or our youth. IBM-Brasil provided the funding for these attractive uniforms that were created by the staff and young people in an employability training program being carried out by one of our partners, Casa de Passagem. The disadvantaged youth in Casa de Passagem's tailoring training program helped design the uniforms and then worked hard to create 50 pairs of uniforms for our youth. This is an excellent example of public-private partnerships and how different programs can achieve common objectives by working together.

Youth diagnose and repair computers!
