Way to the Future-Talent Program

During the summer, as we reported in our previous report, we implemented the self-awareness and personal development module of the "Road to the Future" Career Guidance and Orientation Programme in the framework of a thematic camp.

We evaluated the implementation and usefulness of the programme with the children and professionals present at the camp. The feedback from the participating children and professionals was clearly positive.

The professionals expressed the need for more such sessions for the personality development of traumatised children and for their successful career choice.

Unfortunately, the funding resources currently available do not allow for the implementation of further modules of our programme. We are fundraising and will implement the rest of the programme as funding becomes available. Our "Pathway to the Future" career guidance and guidance programme is ready for implementation. Please continue to support us.

Our Foundation is also actively working to support talent development for children in care through our "Diamonds Unpolished" programme, with broad collaboration. By raising donations and resources, we help ensure the betterment of children.

If additional grants and revenues allow, we will continue to implement the other modules of the "Road to the Future" project with the target group.

If we are awarded additional grants, we will be ready to implement the whole project with a full team if funding is available.

Thank you for your generous support for the betterment of children in state care with multiple disadvantages.

As the holidays approach, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We have completed the preparatory work for our "Road to the Future" Career guidance and guidance programme. Thanks to the information provided by the experts, 1 group of 16 children (12-16 years old) was ready to start the programme. However, the amount of funding currently available does not cover the costs of the 60-hour programme and related activities.

As indicated in the previous report, in the absence of funding for the full programme, the programme will be implemented with reduced content or fewer modules, in the form of thematic camps. This was done, as follows.

The currently available grant amount was used to support the "Befogadlak" Baptist Children's Home thematic summer camp for the children.

This programme was a self-awareness and personal development thematic camp, the content of which covered the first two modules of our "Road to the Future" project.

The camp was attended by 20 children and 3 professionals. With the help of a psychologist and educational experts, the children revealed their strengths and weaknesses, their interests, their favourite pastimes and hobbies. This helped them to learn about and accept their own personalities and to tolerate differences.

The programme followed a pre-planned theme. The 6-day, 5-night programme also provided recreational opportunities for the children.

Exercises, role-playing and group activities helped to develop a correct, realistic self-image and to set goals to achieve. This is essential for an informed career guidance process.

If further funding and income allow, we will continue to implement the other modules of the project with the target group.

If we are honoured with additional funding, we will be ready with a full team to implement the entire project if funding is available.

We thank you for your generous support for the betterment of children in state care with multiple disadvantages.
