Who are these children and why is this programme exactly for them?
There are many reasons why a child can be in a children’s home. These reasons could be abusive parents, or aggressive background, truancy from school or the death of the parents. Many times the children’s lives are not easy before getting into the children’s home. They all suffer and have their deep pain. They either have a family or they don’t, either have relationship with them or they don’t even know them. The experiences of the last couple of years have shown us, that these children are extremely endangered in the topic of prostitution. That’s why we have already organized some camps about sex and prostitution. In this year we would like to enter a tight area because we see that the social media (facebook) is a new area where they are becoming more defenseless.
The children’s homes:
Mátészalka: first three- day camp takes place hereTiszadob: second three- day camp takes place here
Other children’s homes from: Baktalórántháza, Berkesz, Nyírszőlős, Nyírbátor – all from Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County which is considered to be an underdeveloped region of Hungary
