ACW Washington


By the end of 2003, we had placed over 60 participants in jobs and facilitated a total of 87 jobs for disadvantaged individuals. During the protests against the Bank, in the Spring of 2003, Gospel Rescue Ministers, from where many of our job participants are selected, sponsored a pro-Bank rally in support of the Bank. Randstadt Employment Agency has been placing ACW participants with employers on a regular basis. On Thanksgiving Day 2003, NBC aired a broadcast of the A Chance to Work program. The recently completed ACW video will provide a means to introduce the program to additional business sponsors and to increase the level of participation of the ACW program within the World Bank Group itself..
