This paper argues that building a community of street children through a spiritual model can be developed in West Kalimantan to strengthen the values of monotheism. By exposing and simultaneously evaluating the current model of street child development through Talcott Parsons functionalism to see how individuals and communities integrate into a social system, and the concept of spiritual model (and spiritual intelligence) a la Danah Zohar as a form of tauhidullah values development and higher goals in street children life, the model of empowerment through the development of spiritual models needs to be placed in a sociological, social and pedagogical setting for access to educational resources and political systems. The issues and problems of street children are never separated from local identity (identity politics), and individual and group characters. Voluntaristically accepting social norms and values as such, humans are actively involved in social exchanges. Likewise, instead of one-dimensional, the individual's identity is liquid and multidimensional.

This article argues that building a Community Learning Activity Center through a spiritual model can be developed in West Kalimantan for the strengthening of spiritual values. By exposing and simultaneously evaluating the concept of the current Community Learning Activity Center coaching model through Talcott Parsons functionalism to consider how individuals and communities integrate into a social system, and the concept of spiritual model and spiritual intelligence ala Danah Zohar as a form of value- spiritual values and higher goals in the lives of studying citizens, the model of empowerment through the development of spiritual models needs to be placed in a sociological, social and pedagogical setting for access to educational resources and the political system. Issues and issues of Community Learning Activity Center are never separated from human resources and local identity (identity politics), and individual and group characters. Voluntaristic displacements accept norms and social values as such, humans are actively involved in social exchanges. Likewise, one-dimensional changes, individual identities are liquid and multidimensional.

According to UNICEF, street child is any child under the age of 18 for whom the street has become home and/or source of income and which is not adequately protected or supervised by adult, responsible person. It has been estimated that there are between 100 and 150 million street children worldwide. Life and work on the street have long term and far-reaching consequences for development and health of these children. By living and working in the street, these children face the highest level of risk. Street children more often suffer from the acute illness, injuries, infection, especially gastrointestinal, acute respiratory infections and sexually transmitted diseases, inadequate nutrition, mental disorders, and drug abuse. They are more often victims of abuse, sexual exploitation, trafficking; they have higher rate of adolescent pregnancy than their peers from poor families. Street children and youth have higher rates of hospitalization and longer hospital stay due to seriousness of illness and delayed health care. Street children/youth are reluctant to seek health care, and when they try, they face many barriers. Street children are invisible to the state and their number in Serbia is unknown. Recently, some non?governmental organizations from Belgrade, Novi Sad and Nis have recognized this problem and tried to offer some help to street children, by opening drop?in centers, but this is not enough. To solve this problem, an engagement of the state and the whole community is necessary, and primary responsibility lies in health, social and educational sector. The best interests of the child must serve as a basic guideline in all activities aimed at improving health, quality of life and rights of children involved in the life and work in the street.

Until the end of the 1980s, most observers believed that democratic prospects in Africa were limited, given the low level of economic development, the absence of strong nation-states, and the inexistence of a long history of social and political pluralism. However, beginning in 1989, a wave of popular protests demanding democratic reforms swept the continent. Within a couple of years, virtually all the countries liberalized their political systems. Since then, Africans have shown consistently that they strongly prefer and support democratic rule. At the same time, democratic institutions such as electoral commissions and constitutional courts have taken root on the continent. These developments suggest that the question of the feasibility of democracy in Africa is no longer relevant. Nonetheless, the existence of democratic demands, support, and institutions does not mean that democracy is easy to establish and consolidate. In many African countries, democratic gains are reversible and face several hindering factors, including state weakness, autocratic mindset, unstable and divided civic and political organizations, and widespread identity politics. This is why the level and quality of democracy on the African continent vary dramatically from country to country and from one region to another.

This research aims to evaluate the education of street children at Rumah Impian Foundation in Yogyakarta. This is an evaluation research using a responsive evaluation model with a naturalistic qualitative approach. The evaluation stages carried out in this study consist of Rational, Anteccendent, Transaction, and Outcome. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with snowball sampling because the data were obtained from the community of the subjective sample, or in other words, the sample used is very rare and is grouped in a set. The data were analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques by Milles and Huberman. The results of the study show that, at the rational stage, the background of the educational concern for street children starts with a sense of caring about the street children’s future that is worth fighting for. In the antecedent stage, there is a conformity input between the volunteer, apprenticeship membership, and the street children’s education needs, in the form of policies and recruiting volunteers to be a companion to street children. At the transaction stage, the process between the foundation and street children education is appropriate, meaning that the foundation has facilitated the education needed by street children both formally and non-formally, in the form of increasing their skills through courses. Thus, there is a match between what was done in the previous stages and its results, showing that there are street children who reach their dreams, as a result of the foundation's efforts to continue knitting their dreams through intensive activities and assistance.

Living as a street child is a miserable situation, and additionally, the Covid-19 pandemic that has affected millions of people and killed thousands of humans worldwide is very alarming. Money is desired by any person for its role in purchasing things essential for living. Street children beg for money and sometimes they resort to pickpocketing from people who could be carrying the Coronavirus. This study investigates the life of street children and money in relationship to Covid-19 in South Sudan. This argument is presented through an analysis of existing literature and documents on the matter. A sample of 197street children found in the streets of Juba and Yei, including eight children who were sex-workers, filled in a questionnaire. In the sample, 43.7% slept in the street.

More than twenty narrative films about street children have been produced in more than a dozen countries over the three decades since the UN International Year of the Child in 1979. This paper looks closely at seven of these films (Hector Babenco's Pixote, Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay!, Larry Clark's Kids, Nabil Ayouch's Ali Zaoua, Gerardo Tort's De la Calle, Siddiq Barmak's Osama, and Danny Boyle's and Loveleen Tandeen's Slumdog Millionaire), outlining a number of their recurrent themes and techniques, including the use of Neorealist principles of filming; the presence of screens in the profilmic space; the failure to complete traditional narratives; the abandonment by mothers; the staging of conditions of hunger, work, plenitude, and lack; the sexualisation of young people; and the rejection of institutional ‘homes’. The paper proposes that, collectively, the films demonstrate the impossibility of continuing to conceptualise childhood as a protected time and place of play and suggest the possibility that the street child is the emergent normative subject of global capitalism.
