The Rotaract of Trapani donated two new laptops, complete with licensed operating system, to the young migrants hosted by the SAI Valderice and by the FAMI 24 Welcome project based in Bonagia, managed by the Cooperativa Sociale Badia Grande.
Not just an act of generosity, but a concrete step towards the integration and empowerment of those who find themselves in such a delicate transition phase in their lives.
The head of the SAI of Valderice, Valentina Villabuona, and the coordinator of the Reception Centers for Unaccompanied Foreign Minors Valentina Vicari welcomed, last Saturday, a delegation of the Rotaract of Trapani, led by the President Bianca Pugliese.
A large representation of beneficiaries was also present at the meeting.
The project that led to the donation of the two computers began during the Christmas holidays with a charity show organized by Rotaract and with the involvement of schools in the Trapani area. The purchase of the two computers, installed in the multimedia room of the centre, comes with the funds raised during the event. The aim is to broaden the beneficiaries’ IT skills, facilitate job searches, improve communication and increase socialisation.
The President of Rotaract Trapani, Bianca Pugliese, together with Greta Margagliotti, Coordinator of SAI Projects of the Badia Grande Cooperative, are already planning a series of training courses for the next season, in collaboration with the Trade Associations and the entrepreneurship of the province of Trapani.
The aim is to respond to the growing demand for labor in the sectors of agriculture, fishing, livestock farming, canning, construction and hospitality tourism. These opportunities aim to integrate migrants into the local labor market. But not only that: they try to fill the labor shortage in sectors often characterized by hard manual labor, from which the new local generations are increasingly fleeing.
