Your work on this project combines many aspects that all help to provide a caring environment where guidance and assessment is offered to children living on the streets and children at risk.
You'll work at a Youth Centre, helping out with anything from basic schooling such as reading or writing, to community projects and life skills lessons. The whole purpose of this is to get them ready to be taken back into the mainstream schooling and domestic home life again.

User Comments:
“I took some paints in just to see how the children would react. They really enjoyed the activity with me but soon went back to wondering around the activity room and playing together or climbing on the bench. This proved to me that these children are happy with what they have and don’t need new toys or anything to make them happy, they are already happy and are occupied with the resources they have - and they can entertain themselves in different ways.”
