Many of the streetboys, as they are called, have -completed nine years of school but are unable to find work because they have no marketable skills. Last year, Sandra Jaffe, 24, of Cambridge, Mass., decided to do something about the problem. THE IDEA Sandra, a Peace Corps Volunteer teaching at a local high school, started with the idea that if the streetboys were trained for specific jobs they could find employment. For two months she looked into the job situation in Addis Ababa and discovered that the city’s hotels and restaurants needed many more trained waiters. With approval from the Peace Corps staff, Sandra and another Volunteer devoted their summer vacation to a pilot program to train streetboys as waiters. Setting up shop in a vacant home, they recruited nine trainees and began teaching them how to set tables, take orders and serve meals. All nine youths completed the course and all were hired as waiters in the city’s better hotels and restaurants. A TITLE This success convinced the Peace Corps to make Sandra’s project a full-time program, named the “Addis Ababa Job Training “Center.” Sandra became the director, with two other Volunteers as full-time teachers. The center was set up in a rented six-room house and Sandra, who is a graduate of Tufts University’s Jackson College, got the American Embassy and _ the Agency for International Development to contribute furniture and cooking utensils. The Ethiopian Child and Family Welfare Association, which also deals with displaced youngsters, joined in sponsoring the center. Sandra has completed her Peace Corps service, but the center continues with a staff of six Volunteers. In addition to the increased number of students this expansion will accommodate, the program is being broadened to include other hotel work and such jobs as sales clerks and office workers. benefits under an "old law" in effect prior to July 1, 1960, when the “new law" covering nearly 1.4 million beneficiaries was enacted. However, because it may now be to their advantage to come under the new law, these old law pensioners will be given another opportunity between February 1 and May 1 next year to change over. If they elect to change before May 1, any additional benefits due them under the new law will be paid retroactively to January 1, 1969, .
