A mother of two was saved from a human trafficking situation. Through manipulation (lover boy method) she was constrained to practice prostitution for the interest of trafficker and his mother.

She is now safely relocated, involved in a therapy program and juridical procedures . Her JOURNEY for the rest of her LIFE starts now, a lot to be done- but for sure it will be a HAPPY end!

Vacation has arrived!!! After the awards ceremony when we rewarded only the best in school, today is when we reward all the children. This year at school, we initiated a positive motivation program where children were rewarded for school attendance, punctuality, great learning results, appropriate behaviour, initiative and results obtained in extracurricular and out-of-school programs. Through this program we encouraged the appropriate behaviour, we stimulated the children to learn and we strengthened the good behaviour.

How?

Throughout the school year, we gave points to children, whilst with the other children, explaining why they receive them, without comparing them to other children. The points earned gave the opportunity once a month for the best child in the school to become the director for one day. Then the cumulative points now mattered. With them, children could buy places at the Remeti camp, bicycles, rollerskates, games, toys, sweets, hygiene products, books, colouring books, pencils, crayons, colouring pencils ...... many surprises.

After the purchases made by children, I received confirmation from them that next year they will strive more. We, those who work with them, are happy.

Every child is good, every child at school deserves to be rewarded!!

We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.
