An Orphanage That Doesn’t Seem Like An Orphanage

Jason Beaubien, NPR, August 9, 2018

Orphanages are falling out of favor.

Ever since the horrific conditions in Romanian orphanages were widely publicized in the 1990s--naked children tied to cribs in overcrowded wards--there’s been a movement in the international aid world to shut down orphanages completely.

But according to UNICEF, there are still 2.7 million children living in orphanages worldwide.

So what if someone tried to set up a good orphanage--a place where parentless kids could thrive? What would it look like? And what could it tell us about the basics of child rearing?

It might look like this: A dozen kids piled on a couch watching a soccer match on TV while kids from neighboring houses drop by to chat. Other kids are preparing dinner in the kitchen. The kids call the employees of the institution “mom” and “auntie” while the staff call them “mi amor”--my love.

The kids and the adults at the SOS Children’s Village, an orphanage in Tela, Honduras, interact like a big extended family. It’s a place where dozens of kids who’ve been separated from their biological parents for a variety of reasons now live. Some of the kids’ parents are dead. Some have left the country. Some lost custody of their children because they couldn’t afford to feed them. All the kids have been placed at the institution by court order.

The director of the facility, Carolina Maria Matute, says what these kids need most is love. “A lot of love,” she says. “A lot of affection.”

The resident social worker, Jenny Zelaya, also puts love at the top of her list. But it’s also important that the children feel that the staff have their backs, she says. “It’s not just a job,” she says about working at this institution. “We take a real interest in them [the kids] succeeding and being able to achieve their goals.”

SOS Children’s Villages is a nonprofit aid group founded at the end of World War II in Austria. The organization is remarkable now for the sheer number of children it has in its care. It’s one of the largest providers of residential care to orphaned, abandoned and neglected kids worldwide, with more than 80,000 youngsters living in nearly 600 orphanages. SOS operates in 135 countries, primarily low- and middle-income nations. But it also runs three villages in the United States.

There are six SOS Children’s Village in Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the Americas. On a per capita basis only people in Haiti earn less each year than Hondurans.

At the SOS Children’s Village in Tela, the “mom” in house #9 is 45-year-old Sandra Hernandez.

Hernandez describes herself as a sports fanatic. The house is known among the kids in the village as the place to go to watch soccer. Hernandez a die-hard supporter of the Spanish Futbol Club Barcelona. A blue and maroon Barca FC shield is pasted on the wall in the living room. But because Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League tournament, Hernandez is rooting against Barcelona’s archrival Real Madrid.

The four teenagers in her house--three boys and a girl--refer to each other as brother and sister. Hernandez lives in the house full-time. When she takes her annual vacation an “SOS aunt” comes to stay with the kids for a week or two.

“It’s a family model,” Hernandez says. “It’s like a natural family.”

This SOS “village” is inside a large, fenced compound on the outskirts of the Caribbean coastal city of Tela. The 12 separate houses are connected by a footpath shaded by several giant mango trees. There’s an open field where the kids often play soccer. Chickens scurry amid the bushes.

Unlike some other orphanages, SOS doesn’t offer these kids for adoption to families in wealthier countries in North America or Europe. The goal is to make this village their home and to raise these kids in their own culture. Some kids do leave before reaching adulthood--but only to be placed with biological relatives or, if conditions have improved, to return to their parents.

The houses themselves are not fancy. They’re identical two-story, cinder block buildings with a kitchen and a living room on the ground floor and four bedrooms upstairs. Built in the mid-1970s they resemble bland public housing from that era.

The beige and brown paint outside many of them is peeling. The furniture inside is spartan and worn but Hernandez’s 15-year-old “daughter,” Naomi says her friends from school like coming over because she has such a nice house. (We’re calling her Naomi to shield her privacy and because she is a ward of the state.)

Naomi was placed at the SOS Children’s Village when she was 2 years old and has been living with Hernandez for the last eight years.

The SOS model, Hernandez says, provides a structure that gives the children natural social connections.

“It helps them a lot because they’re not isolated,” she says.

Hernandez says this not just because she’s worked here for ten years. She was placed at an SOS Village in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa when she was 3 and grew up there.

“I lived the same situation as them,” she says of the kids in the orphanage.

At Sandra Hernandez’s house the day starts early.

At 5:30 a.m. the youngest boy in the house who’s 15 is sweeping the back yard. Hernandez and Naomi are making breakfast. The two older boys stumble into the kitchen around 6:30. Hernandez is patting egg-size balls of dough into thick, traditional Honduran tortillas called baleadas.

Soon the children will go off to school--not in the children’s village but in the town. That’s part of the SOS strategy: to integrate the kids into the community so they can develop social connections that will help them find jobs and homes and spouses later in life.

One of the 16-year-old boys was just elected president of the student council, which is remarkable in part because he only returned to Tela a few months ago. He spent last year in a drug rehab program.

“They choose one student to represent the school in various activities,” Hernandez says. “And he’ll represent his school when they have meetings of all the schools in the city.”

She is extremely proud of him.

The daily routine at Hernandez’s house is a bit complicated because Naomi goes to the morning school session and the boys attend in the afternoon. On this day, the school, Instituto Triunfo de la Cruz, is celebrating its founding 69 years ago.

Naomi is one of a dozen contestants in what’s essentially a beauty pageant to see who will be crowned “Señorita Aniversario,” the queen of the anniversary festival.

As she walks confidently onto the stage the announcer declares that her hobby is studying and she hopes to become a medical doctor.

Naomi is one of three finalists--but doesn’t win the top prize.

Her 9th-grade math teacher, Jennifer Gamez, says Naomi is one of the best students in the school.

“You explain something once and she gets it,” Gamez says. “If she has a question or a doubt, she asks me about it. And her behavior is excellent.”

Gamez says many of her students live in poverty. Jobs are hard to come by in Honduras, but Gamez tells them that their situation in life doesn’t determine their future.

And Gamez says she’s been extremely impressed with students who’ve come from the SOS orphanage.

“I know a lot of them who’ve become professionals, they’re good people who come from this village,” she says. “I know a lot of people like that.”

There are also kids from the SOS Children’s Village who struggle. The youngest member of Hernandez’s household is one of them. One of his teachers says the 15-year-old doesn’t pay attention. He talks too much in class, doesn’t turn in his assignments. With a stern glare the teacher adds that he prefers to run around with his friends rather than do his work.

Hernandez says she’s aware of these problems and is trying to get him more focused.

The big question is: Would he fare any better if he were living with his biological parents?

Duke University professor Kathryn Whetten isn’t so sure. Whetten has researched residential care for kids who’ve been separated from their parents for various reasons and says that orphanages aren’t inherently bad.

“We see the same continuum of bad and good care in the group homes as we see in the family settings,” says Whetten.

For the last 12 years Whetten has been following 3,000 kids who were orphaned, abandoned or for some other reason separated from their biological parents. The professor of public policy and global health at Duke is conducting the study in five low- and middle-income countries. Half the kids are in institutions of some kind--government-run orphanages, private group homes. The other half have been placed with extended family members.

“What the kids really seem to need is a home-like environment,” Whetten says.

Regardless of whether they’re placed with extended family members or in institutions, the researchers found that the one thing the children need is a stable living situation. They don’t do well if they’re bounced from one place to another. Having consistent long-term caregivers and steady sibling-like connections to other kids is also important.

“So creating a family-like environment is what is really important,” Whetten says. “And that can happen in a family setting in a small home or it can happen in an orphanage slash institution slash group home like SOS.”

None of the SOS Children’s Villages are part of Whetten’s long-term study but she says the group has the right model of placing kids in small, stable units.

The worst residential care facilities for orphans, she says, tend to be government-run institutions where employees look after the children in shifts.

“They often come in in white coats as if they’re providing treatment. Usually there’s three [caregivers] per day who rotate in and out. By the very nature of what they’re doing they’re not as committed to each child,” Whetten says.

“And of course restraining the smaller kids, restraining them physically, is bad for them. We’ve seen very few of those [orphanages] that are really, really on the bad end and those are usually ones run by governments.”

Also places where shift workers care for the kids tend to have the wrong organizational structure.

For the SOS moms like Sandra Hernandez, there are no shifts. Hers is a 24-hour-a day job.

When Naomi gets home after the Señorita Aniversario pageant, Hernandez is waiting anxiously for her on the porch. She wants to hear all the details.

Naomi tells how she made it through the first three rounds and how the crowd was cheering as she walked out on stage. All her friends were sure she was going to win.

Hernandez beams with pride.

Later that evening Hernandez organizes kids from all 12 of the houses to help clean up an overgrown section of the village next to the soccer field.

As the sun fades the kids rake up piles of cut grass and leaves. They haul bushes and small tree limbs off to a pile by the outer fence. The kids also chase each other around. One teenage boy is keen to show that he can carry a bigger bag of leaves and dirt than anyone else.

Some of the younger girls practice a song. A young boy from a neighboring house keeps running over to hug Hernandez--for no particular reason. Eventually the work party turns into a soccer game.

Hernandez scores three goals but the kids insist she was offside. And what could be more fun than arguing about whether or not someone is cheating at backyard sports?

It feels a lot like a big family picnic.

Raina is the nicest cricketer I have ever met: Sammy - Click on link to subscribe my channel https://ift.tt/34vXvMA Facebook - https://ift.tt/2Vjiyz6 Twitter - https://twitter.com/HsrSports Pinterest - https://ift.tt/2ywdZIH Tumblr - https://ift.tt/2z5qwmL Blog - https://ift.tt/2VlBDRu #Sports #Sports_News #Tournament Darren Sammy and Suresh Raina in 2011. (Photo credit: Emmanuel Dunand/AFP via Getty Images) NEW DELHI: West Indian cricket over the decades has produced some absolute champions. Cricketers who have wowed the world with their incredible natural talent. Over the years, West Indian cricket has seen a sharp drop in their performances, as they slid down the ICC rankings. In Tests, ODIs and T20s, the Caribbean team is currently ranked 8th, 9th and 9th respectively. But one tournament they have done quite well in in recent times is the ICC T20 World Cup, winning the 2012 and 2016 editions. The man who captained both those teams was Daren Sammy. Sammy is the only captain to have two T20 World Cup titles and has vast experience of playing franchise-based T20 cricket across the globe which includes stints in IPL, CPL, PSL and Global T20 Canada The former West Indian captain though puts the Indian Premier League above the rest, saying IPL is the 'Mecca' of T20 cricket. He was also all praise for Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni. Sammy, who is currently leading Saint Lucia Zouks in the Carribean Premier League (CPL), spoke about a wide variety of cricket topics in a candid chat with TimesofIndia.com. Excerpts... You recently said that you are planning to make a comeback to the West Indies team after a four-year hiatus. How easy or difficult would it be for you to make a return to the national team set up? I think when you put an article heading 'Sammy wants to make a comeback', I think the question was 'Are you still available for the West Indies?' and my response was I am not retired yet and I am playing in a tournament where performances puts you in contention for the selection, which is the Carribean Premier League (CPL). But like I have said, I am 36 years old and to be honest West Indies is not really on the forefront of my mind. My focus right now is with the Saint Lucia Zouks team. Having said that if I string in some great performances which will raise some eyebrows for the selectors they why not. But I am not going to bed thinking - 'oh! I got to be back in the West Indies team', that's not really what's on my mind. After playing both in CPL and IPL for so long. What is the biggest difference according to you in both the leagues? IPL is the 'Mecca' of T20 cricket while CPL is the 'Mecca' of entertainment in cricket. This year we had no funds but there is no experience like playing in CPL in front of a full house in the Carribean. In CPL, you have some of the biggest hitters and superstars of the world. IPL is the most lucrative in all of the leagues and it's being played in India - a place where cricket is like a religion. Both have their own special identity. I have enjoyed playing in both the places. What would you say is your happiest Indian memory? I have had a few Indian memories in the IPL. Taking Sunrisers Hyderabad to the playoffs in 2013. The last league game against Kolkata Knight Riders and getting those winning runs was special. Playing against India is special as I remember a 2013 Champions Trophy match where Kemar Roach and I put on an unbeaten 51-run stand for the last wicket, and Roach didn't score a single run in it. Also there is a game where I got the man of the match (award) and I think I scored 63 not out in Visakhapatnam. My greatest memory has been the people of India. The way they embrace cricket and the cricketers. And their passion and love for the game which gives you that energy and makes you enjoy playing cricket in India whether you win or lose. You have been part of Saint Lucia Zouks since the inception of CPL in 2013. How good are the chances of the team winning the title in this current edition according to you? I think our chances are as good as anybody else's. At the end of the day you go out on the cricket field to win. What I could tell you is that I love the look of my team. I love the management and coaching staff we have and I love that my players have been bought with a method or the process which we need to win the matches. So far, the tournament has started well and you could see a change in the way we play. A lo...
