Project: The second project for the street children organized in Surabaya highlighting social and education sides of the street children. The volunteer will have chance to build a close relation with the street children in the shelter.

This camp is organized to help the street children with the skill development so hopefully volunteers and children can create interesting activities in the shelter that makes the children stay longer in the shelter. The idea of creating these activities is to reduce the time spent on the street. Street is dangerous for the children, so more time spent in the shelter will be better for the children.
The second aim is to increase the skill of the street children so that they do not only beg and ask money form others. It will be nice if they have skill that finally will lead them to better job and life in the future. Or at least they can be independent with the skill they get.
