6. Genesis Innovative Solutions • Mission • Establish a program that would teach the youths the concept of the family, the value of its members, value of the family unit to society and provide them with an ICT skill. • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

7. Genesis Innovative Solutions • Reason for the Program (Problems) • There are too many broken home in your communities and countries. • There are many young people that have great potential but lack direction and mentoring. • Society lack confidence in the young people of the nations. • The are not enough job opportunities in the Caribbean • There are too many students that drop out of school because of family problems and lack of finances to pursue education. • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

8. Genesis Innovative Solutions Definitions of family • A social unit living together. • Primary social group; parents and children. • People descended from a common ancestor. • Kin: a person having kinship with another or others. • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

9. Genesis Innovative Solutions • The authority structure of the family Sean Rogers Managing Director email: srogers@ginnsol.com

10. Genesis Innovative Solutions • The structure of the family Sean Rogers Managing Director email: srogers@ginnsol.com

11. Genesis Innovative Solutions • We have define the family and described how it should be structured. • The purpose of the family unit is to rear children that they would execute justice and judgment. • However the family unit has seen many changes over the years in its authority, its structure and none of these changes are positive. • Some of these changes are as follows: • Single parent families many of which are managed by woman • Same sex families (woman and men) raising children • Both parents on drugs and raising children • Teenagers being made mothers and the boy unwilling to accept his responsibility as the father • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

12. Genesis Innovative Solutions • As we observe the changes to the family unit it is evident that a main figure is missing, which is the man. We do not see man any where in the family structure, therefore the family unit as become broken. The woman is left with the responsibility to rear the family on her own and struggles in tough economic and morally challenging times. In addition each members of the family is affected, especially the children who are the weaker ones are severely affected. • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

13. Genesis Innovative Solutions • There are too many young people with great potential and they do not have someone to mentor them. • The strength of any nation depends on strong family structure, authority and its members. • However families are unable to rear children (citizens) that would contribute positively to society because the father is not present to give direction and to mentor them in the right manner. • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

14. Genesis Innovative Solutions • Society lacks confidence in the young people of the nations – A statement that is uttered “the children are our future”. However that statement is not backed forcefully by those who make it, which are the Governments and the business community. This is seen in the manner in which they managed, conduct YETP programs, the attitude and conduct of the business community. • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

15. Genesis Innovative Solutions • There is not enough job opportunity in the Caribbean – Unemployment among the young people (drop outs) is high because they are not equipped to be employed and the system works against those who have great ideas but are not from a particular race. • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

16. Genesis Innovative Solutions • There are too many school drop outs. –This is as a result of family problems, system does cater of slow learns and lack of finances. This forms the nation into; a leaderless nation, one that lack moral values, increase in criminal thoughts and actions, unwanted pregnancies, broken marriages. • Sean Rogers Managing Director • email: srogers@ginnsol.com

17. Genesis Innovative Solutions • Statement of Need • There is need for an organisation and institution which understands and sees the needs of the young people.
