Anju (name changed) was 17 when she was picked up off the streets and brought to one of Don Bosco’s six centres for the young-at-risk in Kochi.

Olga has spent the last four years working with the staff and children of Don Bosco’s Kerala and Karnataka centres through workshops and training programmes that ease trauma in children.
