Music, sport and an outing for the kids from Pronino in Honduras, total 4000 Euro
Proniño is a N.G.O. in Honduras that offers street children a future. In 1998 hurricane Mitch resulted in an estimated 10.000 deaths and 500.000 roofless and disunited families. A high number of children have no parents or parents that are unable to take care of them. These children wander on the streets and most of them are in a bad medical and psychological condition (the majority is addicted to glue sniffing).
Pronino works with a phased
programme. In the first phase, a relationship of trust is created with the children on the
streets. Then, the children who have enough confidence in the Pronino people are placed in a temporary centre - Les Flores - for rehabilitation and
detoxification. In the third phase, La Montana, the children are offered a permanent place to live with education and job training. La Montana is a complex of buildings that can house around 100
children. At the moment, 45 children between 6 and 18 years old are living at La Montana and the group is growing since new children wll arrive from the temporary center.
Most children living at La Montana suffer from ADHD or other types of hyperactivity due to their difficult and often traumatised past. For their stability and well-being it is important that the children are continuously offered something to do, also outside their hours of formal
education.
"Survival" track course: 1000 Euro
The kids like playing outside and could spend their excess energy very well on a survival
course. The center they live in lies on a hill and it would be quite easy to build a paramilitary course with
ropes, tunnels and other obstacles through wich the children have to find their way to the top of the hill in a playful
way. Building such a course would cost 1.000 euro.
Music: 2500 Euro
Music is not just part of a general education, is also functions as therapy for traumatised
children. 1.000 euro would enable the center to pay for enough music-instruments of a wide variety and another 1500 would ensure them of a good musicteacher for 10 hours a week (5 groups for two
hours) for a year.
Excursions: 500 Euro
The children work hard for their future and deserve an outing every now and
again. The sea can be reached by bus in one hour and they can stay on the beach for
free. 80 Euro would pay for a trip for 40 kids, including lunch and transport. One outing a month for six months would cost 500 Euro.
