Bruce Organisation NGO
Background
ASK recently agreed to begin funding a project in Peru. The focus of the project, which is being run by the Bruce NGO (non governmental organisation), is on helping child laborers who are working in disadvantaged urban communities, to return to school. Often the child will be living permantly in the streets and will have no contact with his/her parents. Sometimes the child is living at home, with just his/her mother, but working in the streets during the day. Project staff ain where possible to meet with the child's parents, and with both their consent and that of the child, begin the education and rehabilitation process. In the first instance the child is invited to attend the non -formal school being run by Bruce NGO: this allows him/her to catch up on the work missed whilst on the streets. Once the child has the educational level to allow hi/her to reintegrate the formal school system, Bruce NGO provide him/her with school uniforms and pay his.her registration fees.

However, the essential support provided by Bruce NGO staff does not end there. Staff continue to monitor the children once they have returned to school, through the monthly Bruce Meeting Club. Here, children meet with staff, probelsm are discussed and educational games are played, giving the children the opportunity to show off what they have learned at school. The children are rewarded for their achievements in a small celebratory gathering, where local clowns or musicians are invited to entertain them. Material needs are also addressed at the meeting, and clothes are distributed among the children and they are given a meal.
