ACADEMIC EDUCATION
Many of the children in the program are behind in their education or due to their experiences are emotionally unprepared to benefit from a normal classroom environment. Amanecer operates a special school for these children with the objective of brining them up their age level and returning them to a regular school.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
In addition to academic training Amanecer offers the older children in the program the opportunity to learn a trade that will assist them to find regular employment. They are instructed in trades such as carpentry, metal work, plumbing, electricity, and construction.

MEDICAL & DENTAL SERVICES
Dental and medical services are provided both to the children in Amanecer and to street people who have not officially entered the program. Both Bolivian and foreign doctors, dentists and nurses assist in various health services and campaigns.

COMPUTERS
Amanecer is experimenting with the use of computer-based education to assist with self-esteem, interest unmotivated street children in learning and provide another skill for future employment. Using mostly donated equipment the program has trained some older children with basic computer skills who are teaching the younger children to use computers for learning, word processing and other programs.

STREET WORK
The founders of Amanecer continue to go on twice weekly night visits to the worst parts of the city with food and hot milk to find street children that can be brought into the program for rehabilitation. The street team works to prevent children who are working on the streets from abandoning their homes and to prevent them from falling into drug abuse, delinquency or prostitution.
