A project of living, learning and working for younger people, who need some extra care for having a positive life

Problems and Goals

In the moment there are a lot of young people in Holland who are not able to have a good life. The reasons can be, that they:

do not know what they want to do
did not finish secondary school
have problems at home with their parents, brothers and sisters
used a lot of alcohol and drugs
have an unhealthy life
misses social skills
have little psychiatric problems

The aim is to help them to get a better life.

We do it abroad so they can only think about themselves, and are not involved by the problems at home.

We take care for that they

have the right day-night rhythm (breakfast at 8 o´clock, eat 3 times a day, in bed in a good time)
eat well, and have healthy food
have enough rest at first, and then make new good choices for the future
learn to keep house holding (cooking, washing, cleaning their own room)
have education for a job
learning social skills
have volunteering work (in the national parks, helping elderly people in the villages, helping by the ski elevator, other things in our education centre, garden and the neighbourhood)
play sports and music
a special program for free time

They will have their own room
a social / living room together with the others
education in our training room with guidance
meetings for learning social skills, by playing games, doing theatre and so on
sports in our garden, house and in the sport park
make music and theatre in our house
