There is a medical centre, a school where other children come and twelve houses with a mother (staff), a housemaid and about six children of different ages, that will become twelve when the village will be full. There is a man that plays the role of the father of all children, and also works as the director of the village: he controls the diet, supervise the village, make sure that the UN children’s rights and other policies are respected… Children have coaches to play football with other teams. During festivities they make trips. When they will go to Secondary School they will live in a flat with a youth counsellor.
