The first step of this project was the opening of a school, where nowadays 20 children attend kindergarten and 23 first grade of the EGB programme.
The school is absolutely free of charge. It is not only a centre that offers formal education but also an institution that fosters the development of work skills and talents.
Small-scale undertakings
1) An orchard and a farm: we currently count on more than a hectare worked for crops and animals. It is growing day after day thanks to the effort of the people. Once a week, eggs and vegetables are sold to the neighbours. We plan to incorporate new produce and quality service.
2) Workshops for basket making, concrete working, and cooking. We aim to reinstall a culture of work, effort and responsibility in the people.

This home is for children under 12 or 13, without a family or whose family cannot provide them with nourishment and education. Those who have a family maintain contact with them, and those who haven’t are considered members of a foster family among the volunteers.
Our aim is that these children receive food, school support and healthy recreational activities.

This is a dining room for children from the street. They receive breakfast and an afternoon snack every day since they may not receive any food at home.
We celebrate Christmas, Epiphany and Children’s Day, with these children in a very special way.
Thanks to the generosity of many people, we could give out toys as gifts on these special dates, and experience the joy and happiness these kids felt those days.
