fective as well with this philosophy in mind the foundation supports the reconstitution of failing families and family guidance so that social wor-
kers do not solve problems simply by placing a child or several siblings in institutional care this is a new trend which has appeared on the scene ever since the reconstitution of families of czk 1 640 000 and from overhead costs czk 18 477 meaning that the total volume of grants amounted to czk 2 016 708 new family
