The Disease that Emerged
Adolescents in a Supervised and Transitional Home, UNICEF-supported Complex of services for children in conflict with the law in Sliven.
One boy is in the Supervised Home, the other in the Transitional Home.

The UNICEF-supported service helps them to get back to school, to overcome emotional traumas, to socialize and to gain practical skills that would be useful for them to make a living (since both of them are on the verge of adulthood 16 y.o. and 18 y.o and want to find decent jobs in the field of constructions).
