"Healthy children do not jump into a stranger’s arms. If we truly want children in care to thrive, we must do better.
Unless you are willing to commit to the child you are holding, cuddling, photographing, and forming attachments with for not mere hours or days - but an entire lifetime - the best way you could truly love them is to not visit in the first place. Children in orphanages are vulnerable and deserve our utmost protection, sensitivity, and respect. They have already experienced loss and abandonment, and to perpetuate this cycle by allowing volunteers to come and go has been proven to be detrimental."
