The boys taking part in this project are teenagers who struggle with one or more of the following: learning disabilities, serious behavioural problems, broken families, and low socio-economic situations. The experience of failure time after time feeling rejected is something they have in common.
The boys are accompanied by a volunteer guide and participate in unique and diverse activities in order to improve their lives. The activities aim to let them have successful experiences, build their self-confidence, give them a sense of ability and more. The boys are not required to pay at all for this project.
The boys are very happy to participate in the project and cooperate fully. It is a unique and special experience for them. They are happy to receive personal attention from the group leaders and enjoy coming to the different meetings and activities. They are empowered by learning a lot of practical tools for success, fulfilling personal dreams and going through self-discovery, even when things seem to be out of reach. These are values that are very important to us to give this youth, and we are very happy to see the fruit of our labors.
Out of about 70 teenagers who took part in this project, only 12 outstanding people will be selected to fly abroad for an experiential ski vacation together with their guides. They will be chosen according to the criteria of effort and investment in school and their projects and will be judged on criterias such as: attendance, timely arrival, cooperation, active participation, respectful attitude and more.
