to reintegrate young people in their families, to provide vocational training, to set up a basic service, to negotiate with the police and legal authorities and to respect the street children's dignity. The yoving people's intelligence and creativity in dealing with street problems should also be trusted, so that original and suitable solutions can be found. One programme in Mali, for example, has enjoyed some success. Five young people decided to tackle the mosquito problem by setting up a paid spraying service. A short training course brought them up to an adequate standard and they are already in considerable demand. They are now running a small enterprise with much potential, because mosquitoes have multiplied in some increasingly unhealthy parts of Bamako and are extremely troublesome. 2.1 12. In conclusion, FITDH wishes to recommend the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities to request all States concerned to: (a) Study the causes of the situation so that appropriate preventive measures can be taken; (b) Recognize the value of the work done by non-governmental organizations for street children; (c) Support this constructive work by all suitable means; (d) Take action to correct the public image of street children by not representing them as either completely innocent victims or completely incorrigible criminals; (e) Encourage as far as possible the imity and values of the family unit (f) Develop an informal education system suited to the needs of working children.
