The orphanage in Batiovo: how we met the foster children

Team life JUL 18, 2016

The asylum for children in the urban village of Batiovo is special because children stay there only for 90 days. During this time a new orphanage for the children is being looked for.

The asylum was built 16 years ago. Every time about 50 underage children live there.

The institution takes children who got lost, are engaged in begging, orphans, children deprived of parental care. They can stay at the asylum for 90 days. During this period the administration together with other services must find abiding and training place for a child, residence of their parents or guardians - they say at the asylum.

Each year the institution accepts from 360 to 400 minors. Hence the need for assistance is always concerned. This time we came to children with sweets, belongings, coloring books, crayons, paints, notebooks, as well as diapers and detergents. And we will definitely come again. The most important thing of our visit is to communicate. Because after the horror that these children have already seen in their short life this is is often the most important thing that they need. And it is perfectly visible in our photographs. We deliberately publish them without colors - nothing to distract from the true emotions and looks.

We invite you to join and do good things together. Address Asylum: Berehove district, urban village Batiovo, Kossuth str., 146. Phone: (095) 137-40-38
