Bloemfontein - Some 35 street children in Bloemfontein have been taken to a three-week upliftment camp by the Free State department of social development.
MEC Sisi Ntombela says 80% of the homeless teenagers in Bloemfontein are orphans but the camp has re-instilled family importance.
Tabling her budget in the Free State Legislature yesterday, Ntombela says her department will work with the Dream Come True Foundation to expose the youth to training and technical skills.

The camp started last year and will be held annually.
This year five of the youngsters have gone back home to their parents while 15 are in the process of reconciling with their families.
