Girls with deviant behavior, or girls who had experienced family violence or sexual asssults and can't live with her family.

City people not only offered a HOME for them, but also designed a series of lessons to adjust their behavior. City people hire instructors to accompany with sunflower girls. One instructor will accomapany with 4 girls. They have to live together like a new family until they could live on their own.
