The WV Day Activity Centre tries to work with children who live most of the time on the street and only go
home at night. Children have a chance to play games, wash themselves in hot water, and get a meal.
Lessons are a part of the routine as the centre tries to offer an informal education.
Currently there are 40 Children who attend the centre on a regular basis, but the group is always
changing. In every centre, there is a teacher, who looks after the children and supervises the
affairs of the children. This service is mainly used by children who have no family but who
particularly resist organized care.
Not only street children attend the Day Activity Centre but also Children who dropped out of school
because of family problems. For them, the centre tries to help them catch up with their education
and rejoin children of their own age in the local state school so that they don't have to live on
the street.
Staff also try to discover a child's history, and, if appropriate, to invite them
to take up a place in other projects, such as Lighthouse.
