Our guest speakers on Friday, October 4th were Liliya Valihun and Steve Chittenden who were with us to share information on the Hebron IT Academy. Steve is a member of the Everett-Port Gardner Rotary Club. Since 2016, the Hebron IT Academy has been helping orphans, semi-orphans and young people who suffer from the Russian aggression in Ukraine or found themselves in a difficult life circumstance. Hebron IT Academy is empowering vulnerable youth through tech education in Ukraine.
At Hebron IT Academy: education; housing; food; medicine; mental support; spiritual growth; internship and employment. Fining support through sponsorships is key to their continued success. Basically, there goal is to empower at-risk youth in Ukraine through technology by providing quality education and job opportunities in innovative projects that benefits society.
Club members received a signed Ukraine flag by Hebron IT Academy students from Liliya and Steve at the end of their presentation. A very unique opportunity for at-risk youth in Ukraine.
