LWF Jerusalem Vocational Training Program

The Lutheran World Federation Jerusalem‘s Vocational Training program instructs students in the areas of carpentry, auto mechanics, metalwork, plumbing, and telecommunications. The centers in Beit Hanina and in Ramallah provide youth with a creative outlet for their energy and give them skills to compete in the difficult job market.

This series of clips, released on Mondays throughout the summer of 2014, helps to tell the stories of patients served by Augusta Victoria Hospital, of young women and men trained at one of the LWF’s vocational training centers, and of children and young adults taking advantage of the refurbished and lighted LWF sports field on the Mount of Olives. There will also be clips describing two major projects — an elder care facility and a housing and conference facility — that are planned for the LWF Mount of Olives property in Jerusalem.
