Work in the Home
Work in the Home takes place 365 days a year for 24 hours in three shifts. The children are separated in three groups: (group names are: Kairo 1, Kairo 2, Kairo 3), in accordance with their age and other predispositions. The children have been accomodated in bungalows furnished for such a type of accomodation. The bungalows are joined with each other. Groups of children are under permanent supervision of the trainers and they consist of pre-school and school age children. The work of the trainers in these groups has been conceived on the simulation of a real family, namely, a male-female couple of trainers which takes night-and-day care of the children. Presently in the home we look after 31 child of various ages, ranging from 6 to 18.
