(ANS - Dakar) – Friday 11 March marked the end of a project at the Salesian Centre of Ker Don Bosco in Dakar, Senegal. The project was called "Teaching trades through education of young people and literacy courses for women in the area of Yoff". It was an effort to deal with the problems of high youth unemployment in Yoff, because of the low professional qualifications of so many young people at risk, and the vulnerability of women in that area.
