Julio’s School

PLEASE PLAY the video

Julio Colette (right in picture) is a very special kind of person. He lost both his legs  in a landmine blast at the age of 7, but it never stopped him moving forward. With the help of the Foundation we provided him with prosthetic limbs and also funding to complete his computer diploma. He now works at Africa’s largest ISP as a support
engineer.

Julio wants to give back for what he has received and has started a school programme for landmine victims like himself. They will get literacy teaching, basic business principles and also computer skills training. This as a start to help them to get jobs and be productive in the community.

We are currently raising funds for Julio to help him complete building a small community centre where these skills will be taught. We have already started work on building the first small classroom.

The school requires more building materials, electricity, computers and stationery.

Julio, it is exciting to hear the plans that you have! It is good that you have started something and have an end goal in mind.

I do have long term plans to help Sole of Africa and MineSeekers, but there are still foundational things to be done before that is operational and generating the monies from the social business that we have in mind.
However you have started something and I want to help you now. We can send you writing supplies, books pens etc. and backpacks for your 30 students. I will have to look into getting a projector for you, I do still have friends in SA and one Canadian contact in Mozambique and it might be easier to facilitate that from there then to send it from Canada (where I live).
I have been interested in helping people affected by the devestation of landmines for a few years now Julio; and I found Sole of Africa online. Since I spent ten years (my school years) in Africa I am always drawn back to helping Africa's people.
Julio I am not rich - but I will do what I can, and talk to people on behalf of the good that you are doing, to try find whatever resources you need.

Julio Colete: Helping others to help themselves Julio Colete at a meeting in  Maputo to update Marissa  on progress Landmine  Victims assistance  Julio has done a fantastic job,  he went out to the rural areas,  he has met up with landmine victims,  and for the moment he is documenting  all their data and stories.  Julio will also be submitting a  full report as to proposed skills  development programmes  for these patients, as he firmly believes we first need to start with their  physical rehabilitation  and then help them to help themselves.  He will be developing a follow up programme  where the amputees  will have responsibilities  in reporting regarding their progress.  Julio will also be responsible for creating  and updating the database.  When offered help he kindly refused  as he rightly pointed out  "The Sole of Africa sent me  to school to learn computers,  I don't need help I want to do this by myself. ""Julio is in excellent spirits  and is truly enjoying to meet other  amputees to provide hope and inspiration to them.  He is proud of his job, and is excellent at it!  He told me that he so often these days forgets  he is disabled as he is living life to the full!!  Without limitations."
