The average
orphan spends about ten years in an orphanage or foster care. And those are the

are exploited, abused, hungry and lonely. This is the plight of orphans in
today’s world. And it cannot be ignored.

Publishers) divulges the atrocious dilemma that hundreds of thousands of
children find themselves in—simply because they don’t have parents.
