Voluntourism & Orphanages, Challenges Remain

Friends International

This blog post from Friends International highlights the work and progress made by its ChildSafe campaigns, which aim to "end the plight of the thousands of children who have been unnecessarily placed into residential care in orphanages." 

"Some orphanages have even begun to transition into centers which provide the nearby community with services," says the blog post, "but that children do not stay over in. However, there are still challenges in these models which we need to address."
