The Living Hope day centre has become a haven for many children. Thanks to a donation from an American family, Living Hope acquired a small apartment which became the first home of the centre. Now in new premises, around 30 children attend up to fourtimes a week for basic lessons in writing, math, language and computer skills, crafts and sports. They also receive a hot shower, new clothes and lunch at each visit.
Trained social workers and psychologists work alongside the kids and their families to help rebuild family relationships. Parents are also helped to change and better recognise their roles and the needs of children.
The role played by Living Hope is similar to the one a parent would occupy - that of providing support and love. Periodically the children will be given a chance to participate in activities they don't usually experience, like going to the cinema, circus and ice-skating.
Essential Daily Items
Living Hope provides the essential daily items to the kids including;
• Shelter during the day
• Schooling and literacy lessons
• Showers and clean clothes
• Help with getting back into school
• Emergency aid if the kids get sick
• A compassionate ear and unconditional love for all of the children
