| Established in 1991, this center currently serves around 60 teenage boys and girls that come from troubled homes, the streets, are victims of trafficking or are runaways. The primary function of the center is to teach the boys a technical trade such as carpentry, electrical or metal work, assisting them to reintegrate into society and in to their families where possible. There is a separate house for girls teaching many necessary skills for working and their future.
Help is needed in many different areas including tutoring, organizing recreational activities, leading skills workshops, helping with technical education classes, mentoring, and counseling. Volunteers must be patient and open-minded to work with children that come from such difficult situations. The primary focus of the volunteer is to share themselves with the children through encouragement, support and care.
