Drop-in Centers
In
addition to the children brought back by the
teachers of the street children program, the
Drop-in centers - either for the girls or for the
boys - also accommodate the children who come
spontaneously. Open every day and 24h/24h, the
reception centres are places where the child
receives what he so cruelly misses in the street: a
meal, clean clothing, personal care and the
possibility of playing and
learning.
Above
all, it is an opportunity to be heard and helped by
welfare officers and psychologists who will help
them find a
solution:
to regain contact with their family, to
detoxicate, to restart their schooling…
Through
simple daily activities, by participating in
domestic tasks, the teachers help the children to
find confidence in themselves and to lose the
practices contracted in the street. A spiritual
training is also proposed for all of those who ask
for it.
