organization works with underprivileged children, who are mostly without supervision and positive
role models. To compensate for this void in the children's live, the organization uses adult
volunteers to interact with them. The volunteers provide counseling in matters concerning alcohol
abuse, crime prevention, tutoring in school assignments, family, good health and hygiene. The
children receive tangible incentives; encouragement and positive reinforcement which prepare
them to carry on in a civic behavior in spite of adverse social and economic conditions.
