Vocational Training for an Ex-Homeless Teenager ; £53 for 1 Month / £12 for 1 Week

As Disney's dwarves sing and whistle on their commutes to and from work, I wonder how they ended up being miners. Who taught them? Who took on seven apprentices, each of whom has some aspect of their personality grotesquely and comically overexaggerated, and one of whom was a bit of a doofus? Someone must have taught them though - they wouldn't have just picked up a trade on their own.

With this present {scroll to 8}, a teenager who's been living on the street - or who is at risk of ending up homeless - can crank their future expectations up several gears. Whatever vocation they feel that they would like to pursue, Toybox can arrange for them to train in it. What a brilliant present. A life, a career, finances... fantastic - but real. Unlike our seven animated friends.
