1. SICRIE Project Presentation on the Street Children of Prague SICRIE Social inclusion on the cultural and religious interfaces of Europe

2. The Prague group have been involved with street children in the city and Burmese refugees being resettled in the Czech Republic The Teen Challenge Centre reaches out to children who are at risk for drug abuse and other destructive behaviour. The majority of the children are Roma children who do not have adequate parental support. The ministry works to empower these children through education, anti-drug programmes, Bible lessons, and loving relationships with adults in order that they may become transformed by Christian care and make wise choices for their future.

3. It has been a blessing for us to be able to enter the lives of these children and the leaders who serve and love them. The language difference between our group and the children has been a unique challenge, but by having an interpreter present we have been able to communicate. It has also shown us how much communication takes place without words especially when working with young children. We are touched by their warm welcome of us.

4. The biggest barrier Teen Challenge Prague is currently facing is the size of their centre. Fortunately, they have been able to secure a larger house a block away from their current location. This new centre needs many repairs in order to make it operable. In an effort to support this ministry our group organized a work day. Twenty people from our side went on Saturday, March 12 th to help paint the newly renovated walls. We had a wonderful time of work and fellowship!
