Soete Swaan

The young people learn to develop products and services that they can use to create income. For example, companies in the area order lunch for their employees from Rainbow Catering. The Soete Swaan syrup waffle bakery is also part of the Skills Center. Orders are coming in from all over the country for these delicious syrup waffles. In this way, the young people learn how to handle money and we hope to eventually place them with local businesses and organizations.
