Good behavior is rewarded by daily "dream-scheme"-points. Once a month everybody gets a small or big present, depending on their performance. On Sunday afternoon they get some hours free time, there is a movie or something else the children like.
Family reunification
Every year around Christmas time, all students are brought home to their family. Some of them have not been in contact with their family in years because they lived on the streets. In one week time the employees of the Watoto Foundation cross Tanzania to bring the students home. Reunification is an important target for the Watoto Foundation.
After years I'm back in touch with my relatives. I'm thankfull to Watoto Foundation for that.
