Orphans in abkhazia

Who are the children of the orphanages?

Often these children have been diagnosed with mental development disorders. That doesn't mean that a child is mentally retarded, but that he\she has difficulty in school, has a poor orientation with time, doesn't know the names of the months and weeks, etc. The growth and development of these children is usually lower than in ordinary children. All of this is a consequence of life before the orphanage, but the atmosphere in the orphanage doesn't promote children's development, either. Some children started school when they were ten years old or later, and they have difficulty expressing their thoughts and can't read very well. A lot of children are from villages. Some of them have spent their entire lives in orphanages; others just a few mounts. There are some children who were eyewitnesses of murders of family members. There are some children who were thrown out a window by their own mother. Some children have never traveled by train, and have never eaten shashlik (Georgian shish kebabs). They can't go for a bike ride or swim. A lot of them run away from orphanages because they have an inclination towards vagrant life. All of the children really love visitors; they run and hug people they don't even know. The children also like hikes and traveling. They ask many questions about the surrounding world.

The equipment for a kindergarten is necessary!
