Isn’t it time we left orphanages to fairytales?
Today I read a great piece by JK Rowling about children living in orphanages: “The shocking truth is that the vast majority of these children have parents that could care for them. They are not orphans. Most are placed in institutions by families who are too poor to provide for them…[but] where the culture of institutionalisation is replaced by one that prioritises keeping families together, children can thrive within their own families and communities.”
