:: Drop-In Centre ::
This home was opened on March 23, 2002. It is a
drop-in centre for boys who are contacted at Guwahati Railway Station and
others parts of the city. There are about 40 to 45 boys staying daily in
this centre. The children here are in a very important transition stage.
They continue their street life here for some time. The facilities
provided here are very basic. During this stage of “weaning them away from
the street” the children are counseled and their case-histories are
written down. They are also given literacy classes. They have outings and
picnics. Under the loving care of committed care-givers, after some time,
they decide to give up street life. Gradually and gradually they are
introduced to a life of discipline. Apart from counseling the children are
also taught arts and crafts and also imparted value education at the
appropriate time, they are shifted to the Children’s Home at Dhirenpara.
