‘Baby –sitter ,an option!’ aims at training about 160-200 students from single parent families to become baby sitters and thus earn some extra money . The organisation also wishes to make sure these young people go for the right families and that families themselves are happy with the appointed baby-sitters.

‘Holly Easter comes in single parent families too’ is a project that wants to organise for about 50 students a special lecture about Easter time and to offer them gifts on Easter.

Our organisation strongly praises communication as means of reaching one another .The organisation’s logo is the potent symbol of the bridge as people should start building bridges rather than walls in order to foster genuine communication. So if we were to have a slogan representing us that would definitely be ‘ Build bridges not walls!’
