New England Kurn Hattin Homes, located in Westminster, Vt., is an organization that helps at-risk children grow physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.

They attend school, milk cows, grow produce, repair buildings, sew clothes, play games, put on musical shows, build snowmen, swim, and go to church, typical activities of a New England childhood.
