The boys’ hostel (the first of our educational projects financially supported by Sternstunden e.V.) was opened in 2012 and is still the only hostel for boys from the mountain villages in the Braldo Valley and Shigar Valley. Every year, between 10 and 15 students complete the 10th grade and leave the hostel, while an equal number of boys move in and start the 6th grade. The boys have to pass an entrance exam for admission, as capacity is very limited. In total, 65 boys can be accommodated here. They play cricket and football on the spacious grounds.
