For the period covered, a total of ten (10) street children composed of five (5) boys and five (5) girls were referred to different recovery shelters. Most of the girls were referred to Tahanan Sta. Luisa, a recovery shelter for physically abused street girls. On the other hand, the boys were referred to Pangarap Shelter Foundation, Nayon ng Kabataan and Ephesus Home in Bulacan.
There were 111 street children who participated in group counselling while 63 street children were assisted with individual counselling sessions. These children were also provided with case conference and psychological evaluations. Some street children beneficiaries of the Educational Assistance Program (EAP) were also provided with tutorial/homework support.
Also for the period, a total of 124 street children participated in Focused Group Discussions on the different topics of Alternative Education. FGD’s are conducted to assess how the children apply their learnings in their daily life. Among the major behavioral indicators observed among the street children during the reporting period were as follows:
However, not all street children participants are able to apply their learning in their everyday lives due to peer pressure. Thus, the social workers assigned are continuously conducting psycho-social interventions (group and individual counselling) among the street children.
