Those machines are still kept in perfect shape and have generated income besides training the young handicapped. In order to be able to accept more young people and keep giving assistance to the older ones,Alyounbouh started with an extension of its center for the older persons separately from the young ones and therefore will have more places for the younger in the existing premises.
