Before a child enters the foster care system, he/she has already been traumatized by famine, poverty, freezing, physical and psychical abandonment and abuse, parents with alcohol and drug issues, siblings and relatives who have committed sexual abuse.

Many of them have already suffered from all the listed issues when they reach school age. They enter the foster care system with these deep traumas. And those who stay at the orphanage, usually wait in loneliness for a better future and a lovely family.

We are talking about more than 20.000 (!) children only in Hungary. Their needs are not filled with toys and teddy bears, they need experiences that form them, that have therapeutical effects.
