It is very helpful that someone takes the time to initiate institutes so students can study. There are many institute for students. Another type of instiute is a home for the mentaly handicaped. It takes a lot of pressure off the parents if their child is severly handicap and they have an institute to put them in. It is sad but it is also a relief for the child and the parents.
