what we do

We work in order to ensure that our children will not be sent to fill those institutions that we call concentration camps (an expression that may be something of an exaggeration but not all that far from the truth). These institutions are able to receive hundreds of people at the same time, an example of an offence against every sick person's dignity.

Our families try to treat and rehabilitate their children and we work with them to get the children's right to live in their own families acknowledged.

Our personal experiences mesh very well with the spirit of the International Year of the Family promoted by UN in 1994. That initiative led us to consider how the family, in spite of the false models, often propagated by the media, is certainly not an idyllic institution. On the contrary it is probably the first place where troubles and social evils start. But unlike other institutions, the family, if it is helped, has its own resources to fight against these difficulties, to create solutions that are often an example for other forms of social group, from the simplest to the most complex.
