During the afternoon when we have our programme for street people, there have always been a few children wanting to come and do their homework. In the past we have not allowed children to come in the afternoons unless they are already on the streets, as we don't want them having contact with street folk. However, their need is so great that we have recently decided to try running a homework club in one of the activity rooms, separate from the rest of the programme. Some local volunteers, including students from a local high school have offered to help us with this very needed activity - school here is hard and homework is difficult for children to do alone with no help and guidance.
