Apache Promotes Welding Programs at Home and Abroad
While Apache continuously promotes welding as a career in Beaver Dam schools, colleges and the community, we also promote welding education in the World Orphan Fund programs located in Honduras, Mexico.
Bob Dolan, who is part of Apache’s service team, is a volunteer for the World Orphan Fund. He has worked with Apache to donate welding supplies and safety gear for a special vocational training welding program at Casa Bernabe.
Located in Guatemala City, Case Bernabe is an orphanage that has the infrastructure for vocational training for the 150 children living there. In 2014, the Orphan Fund began funding three teachers for welding, cosmetology and culinary arts.
“Apache is the largest donor for the cost of the welding instructor”, says Bob Dolan. “Many of Apache’s employees also give generously to the fund.”
A Pancake Breakfast fundraiser is being planned for Sunday, Sept. 19 from 8 – noon at the Beaver Dam, Wisconsin High School. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for kinds under 12 years old.
