An Dídean

An Dídean (Gaelic for “The Refuge”) – A shelter and school offering a safe place for children who, according to Roarke “get sucked into the system through no fault of their own, but are mistreated or neglected by those who should tend to them” (as Eve was) and “the lost, you could say—who end up on the street trying to find a way just to survive.”
