Advances in Quality of Life
Terre des Hommes staff reports that the children and their families
have developed bonds with one another and have resolved many of
the issues arising from neglect and isolation. The natural development
of social skills and simple loyalties to one another has resulted
in many examples of kindness and generosity that the staff finds
inspiring in light of the previous issues of depression and suicidal
inclinations, especially among the older girls and young women.
