As a young man, he decided to<br \/>\nstudying leisure and social studies and thus utilising their experience and history<br \/>\nto strengthen and encourage other young people. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/province\/hafnarfjordur\/hladvarp\/\">Listen to the programme<\/a><\/p>\n<p>John Bond was, by his own account, cheerful, in high spirits, impulsive and full of mischief.<br \/>\nexceptionalities, and school is not necessarily the setting where these qualities of his<br \/>\nthey had a good time. He was in rebellion for several years but decided, at 16<br \/>\nAt the age of ___, to play with his parents and the child protection committee when they were imposed on him.<br \/>\nultimatums about going into long-term care out of town or taking part in<br \/>\na prevention project here in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur which was tailored around him and other energetic people<br \/>\nof boys and friends.

On this<br \/>\nAt a certain point, John saw the light and the advantages of stopping the rebellion, taking part and becoming<br \/>\na role model and friend to young people who are finding their feet in life. After graduation<br \/>\nJohn worked for several years at Vinakot, a homely residential facility and<br \/>\nA service centre for young people with multiple problems.  <\/p>\n<p>John also tells us about the work that is taking place.<br \/>\nin Hamrin and how he doesn't want to be \u201ethe boss\u201c in the job. The young people themselves<br \/>\ntake complete charge of organising evening openings, but the day-to-day work and reception of various and<br \/>\na variety of young people of all ages with different interests throughout the day is on<br \/>\nhis hand. John and the youths shaped and<br \/>\ncreated the youth centre and its work from scratch, and the work is still in development and<br \/>\nwill remain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interviews with interesting people<br \/>\nindividuals who work for the benefit of the municipality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In The Lighthouse, interesting individuals who work are interviewed.<br \/>\nfor the benefit of the town.
