We would like to thank our sponsors for their invaluable contribution to our Juvenile project. The Alice Project school can now hold special music and yoga classes twice a month in the Juvenile home. Some of the children who were detained there have been reunited with their families and are now studying in our school as regular students.

In March 2004 we started a new project for children in the Remanded Home (jail) as well as for poor women living in the Destitute Home run by the Indian Government.

A special fund was established to support our social workers in this difficult and challenging job. We received the permission from the District Magistrate and other high officials to work inside the Juvenile Home and provide for the inmates' physical needs (medicines, medical care, clothes) and psychological needs (depression, behavioral problems, psychological traumas experienced in childhood, etc.). Three people from the Alice Project schools are involved in a weekly program for children in the Remanded Home, which includes yoga classes and counseling.

We are also planning to build a hostel where orphans and street children can live after they are released from Juvenile Homes. The first funds were raised by the students of Tara Cittamani Center in Padua ( Italy ). Other offerings were made by Luigina's friends. The money was used to get underway. Now we have to continue our mission so that we may be able to reduce the sufferings of those unfortunate people.


“When I teach them music it is a completely different experience for me, because I can see their desire and determination to learn and play like me” revealed Ram Dular, our special teacher for the Juvenile Home Project.
We met Ramu (not his real name), who was going to be released the following day. He looked very happy. “I want to go home in Bihar and see my family as I have not seen them for 5 years” says Ramu. He was caught on the Railway Platform when he was 6.
He has spent half of his life in a remand home simply because nobody has claimed him.
