60 km from the centre of Lima lies a little village called San Batolo.Far away from the hard life of the streets, Generacion has a little house, where about 20 children have their home.

The house was started in 2005 when the former house in Magdalena was closed, and the youngest at that time got a new home. It was a new location, but the ways of Generacion still was the same, working with open doors, meaning that the children was free to go outside the house after normal home standards.

The children go to local schools, but are also receiving classes in the house. There are held classes in music and art every week, and sometime there are special projects in the house as well, like theatre classes, surfing classes and photo classes. Fore many of the children, music and craftwork has been a part of their life on the streets, and in the classes they can develop their former skills, and learn new ways of expressing themselves. This is were important fore there self-confidence, as many of the children have not been attending school fore some years during there childhood, and because of their somehow dysfunctional family history.

Another thing important fore the children in San Batolo is the surfing. San Batolo lies just beside the beach

and the majority of the children are therefore surfing in their free time, and even attending surf competitions. More info click on picture.

The children have their life in San Batolo but the house take on trips, to the movie, to the theatre. Sometime alle children in genracion, the cjildren form San Batolo and the children they have in their street project meet and for example when celebrating Christmas ore attending in demonstration to promote the rights of the children in Peru. In that way they don’t forget their old friends who still living on the streets, but stay beside them in the struggle of a better life.
