This book considers the unfortunate effects of funding orphanages. It shows how a well-intentioned, generous gift can end up causing a lot of heartbreak and long-term damage for the children who were supposed to be better off because of it. The serious consequences of institutionalisation are brought forward as well as how volunteering in or donating money to orphanages can cause children to be taken from their families and placed in institutions. This book also teaches ways we can help children who are vulnerable or at risk in ways that will make their lives better.An essential read for those who wish to genuinely help underprivileged children.

The third part of the book gives advice on how to effectively set up and run a children's home. Including a look at different kinds of set ups, how to deal with staff, essential elements of good management, dealing with day-to-day issues and ethical aspects to running a children's home.

'Volunteers with Children Everywhere', the 3rd book in the Children Everywhere Series, gives information and support to people who are thinking about volunteering in children's homes abroad. Part 1 helps you make sure you make the right decisions for your situation, that you are prepared as well as possible for what you can expect and what you will need. Part 2 explains some of the things you will encounter once you arrive and get to work and gives advice on how to avoid certain pitfalls to make sure your well-intentioned help does not do more harm than good. And because most volunteers do not have childcare experience, Part 3 gives a mini crash-course in childcare. The aim is to both make your volunteering experience pleasant and to make sure the children will really benefit from it.
