laundry (teaching skills for housekeeping jobs) a child care centre, a sewing
school (who also make the uniforms) a gardening section (who beautify the
grounds) a hairdressing school, a bakery (where everybody gets delicious fresh
French bread during the day) and a new mechanical school (which will ultimately
maintain their vehicles). The school has about 750 children on the vocational
side and almost 2000 on the general education side – and almost every

opportunity to break the grinding cycle of permanent poverty.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

hopefully, attached it which means you don’t have to read it if you

meetings around South East Asia working with street children, and to share my
personal experience with you. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
