Children Organized to Develop Essential Life Skills (CODELS)

Improve the quality of life for children by teaching vocational skills, communication, problem solving and critical thinking skills, that will empower and encourage children and foster high self-esteem. The development of these skills will promote independence and a better standard of living for all children.
