The older ones are engaged in sewing and crocheting while two special education teachers give their full time teaching to the youngster who are deprived of normal schooling.
Several among them are completely abandoned, but by normal situtation of schoolin, they can normalize their interaction with each other as well as with as well as with friends - volunteers, who come and visitthem once in a while. The British Ladies have done a wondrous job in making the house more attractive and by giving some handwork so idleness won't dominate them. By being busy they are useful and their spirits brightened.
