Libellule Training Academy (LTA) is a Light for Living International Ministries (LIFLIM) and Frontier Projects sponsored program that started this past January. The program’s intent is to rehabilitate families and support children back into their homes. The program provides parents with social and community support, including vocational training for themselves and educational opportunities for their children. It was determined that the children of Love Community Home would be better off living with their parents. Work was done on their homes to ensure the safety and well being of each child before their return.
Now that Libellule Training Academy is running, a group of mothers and former young adults who once lived at LCH attend class two times a week from 9am - 1pm. During these times, the students are currently learning jewelry making for different cultural markets as well as how to market and sell their products to each of the intended markets. They receive breakfast and lunch each day of class, a stipend which is put into their own micro finance accounts and a monthly food package to support their families.

Working with, getting to know, managing and loving this amazing group of people has been rewarding and full of opportunity. It has been such a pleasure teaching, learning, and growing with them each week. I can truly testify that Libellule is a program that works and has so much potential to go so far!
