We have twenty two children in the shelter.
Four children are training some skills in training centre.
They are also brought up at there.
Sometimes, they come back to the shelter.
Currently, we have 15 children live in the shelter.
Now, two girls come home to register the ID card.
Some children asked manager's permission to visit their home at weekend.
Sy asked, So are they living in the shelter...
Yeah! They are brought up here; we supply them all living conditions.
Some mature children are sent to training centre.
The smaller children about 11 - 12 year olds are living in the shelter.
Sy asked, How long will they live in the shelter.
The limitation is two years.
We can support them 1 year for learning skill and 1 year for education.
So, we cannot support them more than 2 years.
The shelter cannot afford to nurse the children more than 2 years.
After that we will help them to find a job.
Some children can work at the massage parlor.
The others are sent to Da Lat to work in XQ Historical Village.
They will live and work at there as an embroiderer.
Someone can find the job by themselves
Sy asked, Where will the children live after 2 years? Will they continue live in the shelter or come back their home?
They will return their home. Then we'll follow up them in 6 months
It means after anyone live the shelter, we take responsibility to follow up them. Six months later we are out of responsibility
Frequently, the children come back their home.
Sy asked, So, they are not orphan, right?
Right, they have their family.
As you know, just someone have their family.
Someone because their family too poor
They run the risk of leave school or "be a victim of *** abuse"
Therefore, they asked permission to live in the shelter.
Just some of children are abused
Most of them have their family, but they work in the rubbish dump
Their main works are picking up the rubbish and nylon to buy for some money
No job and not go to school are two reasons that make them "become victims of *** abuse"
Sy asked, Are they safe after 2 years, I meant that after they come back their home?
Sure, they can be follow up six month later
