The nursing staff constituting only 21 nurses men and women, do everything they can to take care of, to lullaby, to play with the children, giving all their soul and their courage. At the same time, similar institutions in Netherlands and in Germany, occupy 600 persons, meaning 4 specialized people to take care of each kid in more modern conditions. On the other side, the young, foreign volunteers create with their work and their presence, a warm environment found only in model European institutions. With the jubilant assistance of the volunteers, a child of mental disability can evaluate itself and learn through playing, drawing, dancing, walking or doing gymnastics. Such a dramatic place is accused by part of the press as “Souls Storage”; a small number of people do their best so that those children feel like they have found a home. As a result, most of the children have surpassed the expected age limit. Since 1987, when the “KE.PE.P” opened, there has never been any photo reportage inside the building. These are the first photographs that capture KE.PE.P’s story and reality. May the example of the solidarity and self-sacrifice of the nursing staff and the young volunteers, be followed by all of us.
