TOF 95-05
| This centre is a small enterprise for 14-18 year old children who have been banned from school for bad behaviour or low marks. The young people themselves have helped to repair and equip the donated premises. Training in plumbing, carpentry, tailoring, hairdressing, etc. is provided in addition to psychological guidance, religious education and sports activities and the children are encouraged to become useful members of society. | ![]()

Sergey, who is 16 years old, is a poor student in the 8th form of evening school. He prefers to go to Yunior where he has obtained a certificate in carpentry after graduating from the course and getting practice in the centre. In the past he was often beaten by his parents and was given a two-year sentence for robbery. Now he enjoys reading and has read the Bible for children. He has taken an active part in the rebuilding and interior decoration of the centre and enjoys going to Yunior to relax and sleep. |
