In April 2022, Don Bosco Fambul, an NGO in Freetown dealing with young people approached Next Chance for a Consultancy to undertake the training of 30 of its Beneficiaries in Basic Plastic Recycling Techniques. The Training was conducted at the new Don Bosco Fambul Therapy Center at Bolima. The Training focused on Plastic, plastic types, classification of plastic, and basic recycling techniques. The trainees understood about plastic and they recycled different plastic types into floor pavers. They were also taught how to install pavers in compounds. The training lasted for one month. Certificates were given to the Learners after the Training.
