Welcome to our first project. It's dedicated to our students with special needs, who often tell us that they feel alone in their struggles ... We want to bypass all the "zero funding" obstacles and eliminate all (or most) "this is impossible" and create an amazingly looking, peaceful and safe place for them, that would speak just by walking in: "all of this is for me? somebody cares ..." ZEN DEN is a support classroom but the discussions there between students and staff have a potential of life-changing experiences. They come to us with their deepest needs, problems (often even secrets ...) in the most troubling situations. Most often, troubles at school come from their traumatic experiences in their lives, that happened in other settings rather than at school... Personally, I want to do it as perfect as I would like someone else to take care of my children while they are at school to meet their needs.
