The Bakula Institute split off from the Jedlička Institute and its objective was to support the children in its care in gaining basic and financial independence. The children of the Bakula Institute earned money by performing concerts and selling handcrafted products.

Parents of the children and volunteers helped with the building's construction. The footage shows volunteers at work. The children's choir Bakula's singers sing to the workers during lunch break.
