Center of Support „Dzeguzēns”

The project "Support Center "Dzeguzēns" (Cookoo's Child) was started in 2011 with the financial support of "Latvijas Valsts Meži". The premises of the center were refurbished and opened on 62 Pernavas street, near the LFF office.

The center was created to provide psychological and emotional support both for children being cared for as well as the whole families. Children who have lost care of their biological parents are quite often with low self-esteem. By organizing various activities for them the self-confidence of the kids and youth is being raised. Our aim is to ensure that they strengthen their shoulders and realize that they are not worse than their  peers.  

The collaboration skills and acquirements are being improved by support groups, creative activities, Christian classes, camps and other activities. Not only children but also their foster parents and guardians meet each other to share their experience and learn from each other. Many families admit that this  is a nice meeting place for them to draw  strength and persistence from, as well as opportunity to forget the daily troubles.

Project "Support Center "Dzeguzēns" is being successfully carried out in 2014 thanks to the private supporters from portal www.ziedot.lv and company "Latvijas Gāze". We remind you that we provide not just group activities, but also individual consultations. Please contact us by phone 26004103 or write to ilze@labiedriba.lv .
