Slide presentation of Project Accampaniment in’ Mexico, Guatamala

Submitted

Project Accompaniment vol- unteer Kevin McKechnie will give a slide presentation at Castlegar United Church on Wednesday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m.

McKechnie was in Mexico and Guatemala for four months this winter accompanying Guatemalan refugees as they returned from a 13-year exile in Mexico. He also lived with them in two new settlements as they re-built their communities in their own country.

Project “A” is a grassroots, cross-Canada network of com- munity groups formed in response to the refugees’ request that there be an international “spotlight” on their return so as to prevent the still violent Guatemalan military from repeating the devastation of the early 80s.

McKechnie is a member of the West Kootenay Central America Support Groups and a local car- penter/renovator. He was able to contribute four months of his time to the Guatemalan people thanks to the great generosity of church and community groups as well as individuals from Trail to Argenta and Castlegar to Grand Forks and Creston.

His trip followed that of Valerie Hutt who was in the south this past summer, and has been

j able to give update on the progress of communitics in which she lived

Although there will likely not be another West Kootenay resident going south in the near

; future with Project “A”, the Central America Support Group will continue to monitor the situation and follow the

School district gets $78,000

KAREN KERKHOFF

Sun Staff

The Castlegar school district is some $78,000 richer thanks to funding from the Ministry of Education

Rossland-Trail MLA Ed Con roy recently presented the district with a cheque for $77,648 for the Skills Now program

Everette Surgenor, superin tendent for the district, said the task now is to downsize the prg: gram. Originally, the bgard asked for $96,000

Conroy told board members that although it might seem that the government's focus is on health care, the government understands the need for edu

cating youth

“Our government knows and understands we have to get stu- denis educated. We understand we can't do that unless they're adequately trained.”

Conroy said that currently there are 2,000 value-added jobs which can’t be filled due to the lack of appropriately trained workers

Skills Now, said Conroy, will answer that need and others that arise as Canada become a tech- nology-oriented nation.

Skills Now is an apprentice- ship program which works with other school districts, communi- ty businesses and industries to assess the changing needs of the work force

Surgenor said the focus of

of jon, Bo: land <arded Elan buttons

Skills Now is to help students develop skills which are neces. sary for the jobs of tomorrow.

“They myst have the ability to problem solve and be able to have creative thinking. These are all life-long flexible: skills. The question is how can we address skills in the areas kids need.”

The Castlegar district program blends apprenticeship and work experience along with an applied curriculum which is related to the the Skills Now initiative

Career planning will be an important component ‘of the Kindergarten through Grade 12 program plan and will attempt to address the dynamics of the changing work force
