MORE than 350 residents of Adelphi and surrounding communities in St James benefited from a social services and opportunities fair hosted by Sandals Resorts in Montego Bay and the Social Development Commission (SDC) on June 21.

The fair is one of eight to be held up to August and is aimed at providing people in the community with easier access to basic social services and information on what's available to them as citizens.

"Between 11.5 and 21.79 per cent of the residents in Adelphi, which has an estimated population of 2,061, live below the poverty line, with high unemployment among the youth," said Randy Hayle, parish manager for SDC St James.

He further said that through research, the SDC has found that there are residents who do not have essential documents such as birth certificates, Taxpayer's Registration Number and National Insurance Scheme cards that are required by employers.

"Additionally, a number of residents were either unaware of or lack the self-confidence to seek out Government social protection programmes," said Hayle, adding that data from the SDC's community profiles also show that there is a higher percentage of persons experiencing social vulnerability in rural communities.

In reference to the Sandals partnership, Hayle noted that the group is seen as a critical partner that can provide training and employment opportunities to reduce the social vulnerabilities within the area.

Meanwhile, Sandals used the opportunity to recruit persons from the rural community for their resort group's Hospitality Training Programme (HTP).

Since its launch in October 2006, the Sandals Hospitality Training Programme has successfully trained and certified over 4,000 young Jamaicans, many of whom are now a part of the Sandals family or the general hospitality workforce.

The six-week programme is geared at providing technical and customer service skills training and certification in various areas of the operation, including but not limited to Food and Beverage, Rooms Division, Recreation, Engineering and Finance.

At the end of the six weeks, trainees are evaluated on the technical skills learnt. Based on their performance, they are given a recommendation letter and certificate of completion.

According to Latoya Edmund, human resources and training manager for Sandals Carlyle, who was on hand to assist in registering persons for the programme, a well-trained workforce with the requisite skills, knowledge base and entrepreneurial capacity will increasingly become a key factor in ensuring Jamaica's ability to compete on a global scale and enjoy new levels of prosperity and efficiency.Welcome to order your own Michael Kors Monogram on sale with 100% guarantee quality and low price.Michael Kors bags outlet are on sale,order now!

"The HTP initiative is Sandals' way of injecting the knowledge, skills and expertise of its team into the broader social sphere," said Edmund.

She applauded the SDC for its efforts but further added that there is a need for greater support from the public and private sectors.

The Fourth of July holiday was a time for saving big money at metro Detroit's Salvation Army Thrift Stores.

All 34 locations held a huge sale with 50% savings on clothing, and deals on other items as well. It was an all-day sale from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

In fact, Goodwill Industries says its sales have increased 83% from 2007 to 2012.

Of course, those years coincided with the recession, but fans of "thrifting" also say shopping for those bargains can always help you stay fashionable, without going broke.

In Atlanta, fans of "thrifting" have given second-hand clothes the high fashion treatment. They held the first, and hopefully annual "Thrift Week".(Similar to Fashion Week) Bargain hunters were given a chance to show off their high fashion, which they bought for low prices!

"When you see other people doing things, and you see all the great pieces that they find, it kind of motivates you to at least try it," said Karen Charles, a thrift style blogger.

She says more and more people are giving those second-hand stores a try.

"What I love about thrifting is the thrill of it. The challenge in finding something unique that everybody else isn't going to wear," Charles said.

Other shoppers agree "thrifting" has come a long way.

"Back when I started in high school, there was really a stigma attached to it. People always though if you went to a thrift store you were either poor or homeless," said Neshanta Smith-Davis, a thrift fashion show winner.

The new image for thrift stores is paying off.

"We literally some days before the store opens at 10 o'clock, there's a line outside at 9:30 with people lining up waiting to come here to shop,I can't believe I ever shopped for Michael Kors New Arrival elsewhere." said Camille Kessler, president of the Junior League of Atlanta,welcome to michaels kors handbags sale,Free shipping‎! which runs a thrift shop.

Supporters say the newfound popularity has a downside. The competition for those great bargains has driven prices up just a little bit.

Still, if you love high-fashion, but have a discount budget, you might want to give "thrifting" a try!
