Every month, more than 30 children from orphanages end up in hospitals. They get sick just like children who live at home, but they are completely alone. No mom, no dad, no one to simply hold their hand.
Even adults find hospitals scary, and for a child, it's even more so. Doctors do everything necessary, but they don't have time to sit nearby, hug, and comfort the children.
One girl was five years old when she was admitted to the hospital. She was scared and didn't want to talk to anyone. Our nanny explained to her how everything worked in the ward. Then she noticed the girl looking at the colored pencils and drawing pad. Every day, they drew together in silence, and after a couple of days, the girl brought the nanny a drawing and said, 'Hi! This is you.'
For 18 years, we have been finding, training, and paying nannies. The nannies feed, play with, care for, and give the children something essential for recovery: warmth and a sense of safety.
This fundraiser will help pay for the work of five nannies. And there will be more stories like this.
