    in these families.

SUMMARY
Barnabas Bar Petra operates Rehabilitation Centers where children with disabilities can spend
designated periods of time with their caregivers/families to learn skills and be trained in developmental
techniques appropriate and specific to each child.  These life skills are designed to equip children with
disabilities with capabilities that will promote higher levels of self-care and independence.  Barnabas Bar
Petra also operates Training Camps where young people with low educational achievements can be
equipped with the tools necessary for self-care management and vocational training.   

     Barnabas Bar Petra is NOT the organization that provides residential home for children with
disabilities.  The function of Barnabas Bar Petra is to support and enhance existing governmental
facilities and strengthens the work provided by established children residential homes.  Barnabas Bar
Petra’s role is to provide services to clients who have already exhausted the governmental resources,
and need further training techniques or equipment that will maximize their potential when performing
activities of daily living.  Barnabas Bar Petra will work closely with the existing governmental system in
each place and address the problems associated with caring for children with disabilities.
