*My New Year Message*
When children in orphanages turn 18 and are not adopted, they usually leave the system and have to live on their own. What happens next depends on that home and available help. Some get support like housing, job training, or education, but others may struggle with homelessness or finding work if there isn’t enough support. Some organizations step in to help, but many young people face challenges, showing the need for better care and guidance to help them succeed. There are many people like that today, we meet them on our day to day life, they don’t have village, they don’t know where they came from that home becomes their village the remaining orphans there becomes their siblings they owner of home becomes their parents. For the ladies any man that wants to marry them will come to that home and pay bride price and party for the remaining orphans. For the men they usually bring their wives there and introduce them to the home “This is where I came out from”
If the orphanage is located in any city , the individual can choose to settle there after leaving. They can buy land, build a house, and start their own family while staying connected to the orphanage. They might visit regularly to support the home with food or money and could even adopt one or two children from the orphanage to give them a better future. That’s why you see some families adopting one or two children to add to their own. Everyone has a different story, and some are harder than you can imagine. Some people don’t have siblings, parents, or even a real date of birth, they had to give themselves one. Some don’t know their real age, and others grew up without family. This is why it’s so important to be kind to everyone you meet, especially children or adults living under bridges or in tough situations. Some weren’t lucky enough to escape their struggles, while others got help and found good jobs and businesses while some got an opportunity to travel abroad.
Happy New Year.
This is life!
