10. What are we doing? We are providing a suitable environment for individual development with enough room to: experience how to get on with others find out how others are getting on with you develop your ideas and put them into practice go beyond boundaries and to learn from this do things together …………

11. What else are we doing? We are teaching our children how to manage in our society. We are teaching them to get to know themselves. We are offering them help in cognitive self- development. We are teaching them how to have confidence in themselves and others. We are teaching them to respect themselves and others.

13. We are happy with: each smile each sign of recognition each step that is taken each conscious choice each feeling of (self)-esteem each cheerful goodbye of a child that enters society with confidence

14. What are our future challenges? Finding permanent funds to be able to continue. Receiving recognition from the government Expanding the network of people who are supportive in helping the children to integrate. Being able to describe the things that we are learning from the process.
