Key Pointers To Help Protect Juarez Orphans

By Rebecca Bailey


The increase in the number of children who are less fortunate has skyrocketed in various parts of the world and Santa Teresa in New Mexico is not an exception. Children lose their parents as a result of war, poverty or even illness related causes. Luckily, well-wishers and the local authorities have come up with ways of nurturing and protecting Juarez orphans. A number of programs and facilities have been set up to accommodate such victims of circumstances.

Setting up of support institutions and establishments has also seen the rise in number of individuals willing to show care by investing time and funds in the programs. These people go in as volunteers to train children in various life skills, donate commodities and basically spend time with them. However, some orphanages are fond of making money through these needy children and hence, do not emphasize on various security measures of protection. A number of signs can tell whether an organization is run efficiently or not.

To start with, the program will openly solicit tourists and visitors. Institutions that are perfectly run usually require visitors to make appointments before being accepted into the institution. In the event that you realize that the orphanage easily welcomes visitors, it denotes that the interests of children are not being protected. Such an organization need to be crosschecked by relevant authorities.

Institutions which are well run should be able to protect the children from predators. This is usually carried out by requesting for curriculum vitae, references and police reports concerning prospective volunteers. This should be availed long before being allowed to come for the visit.

Presentation of the documents will come long way in verifying who they are, early before being accepted for the visit. By so doing, people with ill intentions are easily kept off from the children at the institution. Predators and perverts have been associated with causing both physical and emotional injuries to their victims in these institutions since they masquerade s good people and they are not.

It is also a major risk to subject children to direct contact with volunteers in the absence of a support staff. This is regarded as dangerous since they do not have anything in common and forming attachments may be quite daunting. When offering daily care services, support staff must be available to ensure that the activities run smoothly and also help in creation of a good rapport.

A good voluntary program is one which accords volunteers an ample chance to engage children in activities for some time. The time allocated should be enough for them to impart skills to these children who are termed as the less fortunate. Programs which allow these individuals to work with children for a shorter duration are not wary of the children interests. They should be able to get as much time as possible for wiping out the traumatic experiences they went through earlier on tin their lives.

Orphanage tourism has been a fundamental factor to consider and many questions have been raised. It is viewed that allowing this to happen makes children be used as tourist attraction just like wildlife. In the long run, this will have a negative impact on the psychological welfare of the child. Therefore, it should be quickly abolished for the safety of the child.
