CODENI rewards the kids based on their efforts and gives them points with which they can later buy material needs such as clothes and blankets.
The idea behind this is that the kids should learn that with work they may be rewarded so that when they are ready to leave out to the real world, they are used to working to maintain oneself.
I think this is a great method in that the kids, in a way, already sort of work in CODENI and are payed with points with which they can buy clothes at the CODENI tianguis. The points thus become some sort of currency. I think this is a great way to prepare kids for the real world and to have them develop good working habits.

As well as nacho I aplaud this reward system. they basically give them the clothes but it is good that they are working for them. I had seen a similar procedure before in la Huizachera where we also set up a tianguis in which donated clothes and house articles were put up, and the people from that community which was very poor, could buy the stuff at prizes like one or two pesos. This was a way of helping them with out making the completely dependant to charity.
