This document discusses orphanage tourism (OT) and the controversies surrounding it. OT involves volunteer tourists visiting orphanages, often with the intention to help children in need. However, orphanages have become commodified and are sometimes set up to attract tourist dollars rather than help children. While volunteers have good intentions, short visits can disrupt child attachments and orphanages may not meet children's real needs. The growth of OT is also linked to problems like child trafficking. Solutions proposed include improving volunteer qualifications and experience, discouraging short visits, and prioritizing family/community care over orphanages.

REAL LIFE STORY: EVA
Her name is Eva, the name of the first wom She is 3 years old and spent more than two years in
an.
the Medical and Social Care Institution in the town of Shoumen. In a few mo nths she is to be tr ans-
ferred to the next instituti on. Then she will be tr ansferred again and again till the a ge of 18. The
obligation of the state institutions does not extend beyond. However, that obligation is very costly.
Eva will get directly some coins. I don’t know what will become of Eva after her 18th birthday. Yet
I do know her eyes will cease to be merry. Mоther’s care is the forbidden fruit for Eva...
Eva’s parents grew up in institutions, just like her. And they abandoned their child to the care of
the institutions...
“When Eva arrived, we realized she h a cousin institutionalized here. He is 2 y
ad ears older and used
to live in a deserted taxi cab with his mother. Evidently Eva’s mother was told about our institution
and brought the child he re. The elde r of the two cousins was tr ansferred to anothe r institution.
The mother had another partner and gave birth to a second baby”. This is what an employee of the
medical and social care establishment said.
Eva’s father wanted to keep her but couldn’t afford it. Different social institutions communicated
with Eva’s parents and judged that neither her father nor her mother could offer parental care. The
truth is that often such decisi ons seem hasty and no o ne cares to work with the parents to help
them keep their contact with the child. In co nsequence, Eva is in the tr ap of the time inte rvening
the decision whether to be put up for adoption and her stay in the institution.
A system to support such children exists in Bulgaria but does not pe rform well enough. There is no
a single Centre to solve the problems of abandoned children quickly and efficiently. If such a center
had been in pl ace, three options would have been opened up to Eva. First, he r father would have
got support to bring her up. If that appeared impossible, she would have been placed with a foster
family (second option) or else adopted (third opti on) ... in a couple of da ys. She would but it is to
be guessed whether this would happen. The clumsy bureaucratic procedure leaves most children
like Eva without a family to liv e in... Instead they gr ow up toge ther with m any other abandoned
boys and girls in the compan y of caregivers who, even if willing , cannot provide full and genuine
family care.
One out of every three days spent in an institution is lost for Eva’s normal development. With every
passing day her prospect to grow up like the other children are diminishing.

REAL LIFE STORY:
JUDITH: IN THE FACE OF GRIEF, EDUCATION BRINGS HOPE IN HAITI
Judith, 15, l ost her mother to the earthquak e that devastated Haiti f our months ago. T oday she and
her fellow students support each othe r through their grief at o ne of hundreds of schools that have re-
opened with UNICEF support. Here Judith talks about her experience – and hopes for the future – in her
own words, as told to UNICEF Haiti staffers Cifora Monier and Jill Van den Brule.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, 14 May 2010 – On the day of the quake, Ms. Lambert, our school director, sent
us home early. I usually stayed after class to help clean the tr ash in the school yard. But th at day, Ms.
Lambert had heard that not far from our school a university teacher had been killed and there was fear
of rioting. She insisted that we rush home and not linger on the streets.
I was home in about 35 minutes flat, my blouse sticking to my back from the scorching heat. Suddenly
we were all white, covered in dust from head to toe. I couldn’t believe what was happening.
My world crumbled
It was a moment that changed everything. My mother, who had been home tending the house, was
trapped beneath the rubble, her leg broken. My family worked frantically to remove the rocks, but they
were too heavy to lift and we could not move quickly enough. That night we buried our mother.
After wandering the streets, we eventually huddled on a street corner and fell asleep among the sounds
of wailing women.
We no longer had a home and no l onger had our mother. The two places where I sought refuge were
gone. My entire life had crumbled before me. I cried a lot over the next few days and weeks, sometimes
hearing my mother’s voice or seeing her in my dreams.
After the earthquake, my family went to Les Cayes to spend several lonely weeks in the coun tryside. I
missed my mother so much. But although she was no longer with me, she had given me the strength to
move on. Today I keep her alive through my memories – like sitting in front of the TV and watch music
shows together. She said that one day I would also display my talents for the world to see. I want to
realize her dream.

increase of society‘s assets, improving the efficiency of other investments and solving parents‘ needs for know-
how about bringing up children. Integrated programmes for the youngest children also help diminish unequal
opportunities, which is one of the ways to fight poverty.
Healthy cognitive and emotional development during the first few years brings measurable rewards later in life.
Early preventive interventions pay well compared to the later costs of treating various disturbances.
In 2010, UNICEF continued supporting the ECD in Bulgaria in the cr eation of integrated policies and models,
supported with budgets, which guarantee the best start in life for every child in Bulgaria.
UNICEF supported the Nati onal Center for Public Health Protection to complete a National Survey on Nutri-
tion of infants and children under 5 and family childrearing practices in Bulgaria. The Child Rearing and Nu-
trition Survey was finalized and officially presented in 2010 to the Bulgarian Government and health officials.
Some disturbing results, such as a high level of anemia and low levels of exclusive breast feeding were identi-
fied. Important conclusions and recommendations on child rearing and nutrition were drawn up as a result of
the survey. The survey will inform the future programming of interventions in the area of ECD. Early Learning
Development Standards were drafted and content validation completed. Standards are being provided to the
Ministry of Health for subsequent age validation and follow on implementation.
