The training personnel consists in one director, one accountant secretary, several aunts helping the mothers, one educator and one gardener.
Mothers recruiting is performed locally by the Vietnam SOS Villages association. Mothers are carefully selected depending upon their educative skills, their psychological balance and, their heart quality as well. Mothers do follow a six months theoretical and practical training.
