The NGO´s
have identified three main priorities through their researches in the
region:
-
Vocational
training.
-
A
hostel/refuge for vulnerable children.
-
Youth Centre
with sport facilities.
In this
context and taking account of those priorities, the Salesians of Don
Bosco have started the foundation of what is today “Don Bosco Poipet”.
In November 2001 was acquired the first piece of land, 28.721 square
meters. The construction started in March 2002 by raising the land and
building a fence all around it. This work was completed at the end of
May 2002. The purposes of the centre are:
1.
Shelter homeless children by providing them with a temporary
place to stay, a refuge away from the streets of Poipet: Home
for children.
2.
Offer an alternative to life on the streets by providing a
program which includes recreation and sports as well as education: Youth
Centre.
3.
Implement a reintegration program to facilitate reintegration
into the child/youth own family where possible: Social work.
4.
Through a program of assistance enable children in need to access
education: Literacy centre.
5.
Offer a number of individual students the opportunity to access
higher education: Scholarships.
6.
Providing technical education in relevant identified skills:
vocational training.
