This photograph is definitely a situation because it’s not just happening to these children; it’s happening to many children all over the world. Many children are living on the streets with no food, clothing, or shelter. They literally have nothing. Yet, do many people do anything about it? Most of the time people are too busy worrying about themselves than to realize how much other people are suffering in the world. Orphanages are a refuge for children like this. Orphanages provide homes, clothing, food, and ease the burden of these children; even if only a little.
How does this relate to my topic? Well, I feel that in providing a refuge for many children all over the world, orphanages are indeed doing their job. We always tend to think of orphanages as adoption places; however, there is more to them than just finding a family for a child. They were built to provide shelter for children with a bad home life or for those who don't even have a home. They give many children dignity, so they don't have to live in shame all their lives. Most importantly orphanages provide children with hope that life can and will be better.
Even though orphanages has other problems like the occasional bad orphanage neglect which can be overcome by simple improvement, they are the most efficient way out there to:
ReplyDelete1. Show love to those who are hurting,
2. decrease national poverty and increase wellbeing, and
3. best solve the homeless orphan crisis!
There is no other, more efficient way out there to help and to care for orphans and place them into families. Granted, some families are not the best for children, but there are ways to help solve that. Orphanages are a vastly successful result of people trying to make a difference. What would it be like without them?
