In May 2005 they found a permanent home for the charity The Mango House. At this time it was a run down Portuguese house that hadn’t been lived in for many years. The next six to eight months were spent working on the house, changing it from a shell into a lively centre to which children can come for healthy food, medical care, a safe/dry place to rest and to join in with creative and fun education. The house is open to all children no matter what their background, religion or circumstances."@en }
