Hold the Future is a Hanoi, Vietnam-based charitable organisation that offers vocational training and handicraft production to young people with disabilities. The Centre accepts young disabled people between the ages of 18 and 30 irrespective of their disability. Hold the Future aims to provide its members with the necessary life skills and support in order for them to achieve independent livelihoods.〔(Hold the Future's official Blog )〕〔(Hold the Future's official Website )〕 Hold the Future maintains a blog at holdthefuture.org for news in English and a commercial site for product information and news in Vietnamese at vingaymai.com. ==History== The Centre opened in 2002 to an initial intake of 10 people. At the beginning the focus was only on handicraft production although there was some small amount of training provided. In 2007, with the assistance of Caritas Germany's first tranche of funding, the Centre started providing more structured vocational training. Much of the training since then has focused on traditional Vietnamese handicraft production such as silk embroidery, bamboo and lacquer art. For more practical skills that allow disabled young people to find employment more quickly or make money with their own business, the Centre also adds training in sewing and tailoring, basic carpentry and silk flower manufacture. Caritas Germany extended their sponsorship during the 2009 to 2010 period and for the first time the Centre was able to offer courses on soft skills with the aim to assist young people in attaining better self-esteem so that they are able to more confidently present themselves. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hold the Future」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
