A child is like raw clay, whatever shape we give it, it will mold itself accordingly. The child is the most sincere and innocent being, he must be treated with great love and respect, he has the right to receive a good education, the opportunity in society to grow as a good citizen. They need family protection to build confidence to face the world and care to nurture their childhood. Unfortunately, there are millions of children who live without any kind of support, care and shelter. They are deprived of family and education and forced to live in inhumane conditions. These helpless children are known as orphans. An orphan is a person who has lost their parents and is therefore left alone with no one to care for them.
Orphans whose parents have died are thrown out of their homes and left alone on the streets. Dubai is an international city in the United Arab Emirates, it is a well-known tourist destination in the world. It is known as a shopping paradise and people come with their children to enjoy their vacations. Unfortunately he has many orphans who are left alone in search of help and hope. In Dubai, orphans are treated as the social responsibility of the kingdom. They are first sent to the children’s hospital for first aid and basic medical treatment. Subsequently, the boy is admitted to the room. Therefore, the state hospital assumes full responsibility for child development.
They stay there and are treated well. They receive all the basic necessities such as food, clothing and shelter. There is a well-designed adoption process in place in which these orphans can be adopted by citizens. Volunteers can visit the hospital so that the development of the orphaned child can have exposure to the outside world. There is a very touching story about the girl named Annie that talks about a girl who was taken to an orphanage and how she survived and found out about her family and her life before the orphanage and life after that.
This story describes the intricacies of how children are treated in orphanages and how they are converted and what happened to them. This tells how the girl remembers that she was taken to the orphanage when she was about three years old without being able to think about what is happening and what will happen in the future. She suffers from not only physical but mental trauma. As she encounters several ugly and inhumane incidents that leave a permanent mark on her memories and trouble her throughout her life. This book tells the truth about the inhumane condition in which orphanages operate and how they make adults weak and insecure.
Education is very important to all children and it is their birthright. There are many human rights agencies and organizations that work for the welfare of these orphaned children. It is very important to make them aware of how education can bring fresh breath into their life. It is very important to take steps to ensure that these children receive a proper education in a healthy environment. They should be given the same opportunity to study with normal students and get one with the open society.
There are NGOs that work to make an effort to give them equal opportunities, they help these children by giving them admission to schools, giving them books, uniforms, etc. this makes them feel that they have support and that they can also grow and become a respected member of the family. It is very important to make these children aware of their human rights and that they can report any unpleasant incident. They must also be well protected by law. Sensitizing them about human rights empowers them to fight against any atrocity and inhuman act. These NGOs make sure to safeguard rights.
These orphaned children need a home and a family and that is why there are NGOs and local organizations that help to find a home for these children. In Dubai, the adoption of such orphaned children is protected; The authorities allow nationals to adopt these abandoned children. According to Islam, the Holy Prophet Muhammad said that “the house that welcomes orphans and where they are treated with love and affection is considered the best house of all. which is considered the worst house.” The state of Dubai encourages people to adopt a child of God and give them hope and family. However, the state prohibits any other national from adopting your child, regardless of caste, creed and social status. Once a child is left on the street and abandoned, it becomes the responsibility of the state guardianship and only nationals and citizens can adopt these children. However, this law restricted many expatriates who were living in Dubai and willing to adopt a child there. However, this law encouraged locals to come forward to make them part of their family. People have become very aware and are welcoming them with open hearts.
It is reported that the state room has never had more than 12 godchildren, including boys and girls. Couples seek adoption when they cannot conceive. And there are cases where people feel responsibility towards these innocent children and want to give them a family. To adopt, they must submit a written request to the Director General explaining their situation and the reason why they wish to have an adoptive child. These couples can visit the room where they can interact with the children. So when their application is approved, they already know which child they are taking home.
The State investigates the state and environment of the Family. A full report on the family and their background and reason for adoption is prepared and submitted to the Director General for his kind consideration. The recommendations are given by a social worker who carefully studies each case and then only recommends them; this is a long process and can take 2-3 months. However, the process does not end there, as social workers continue to follow up for several years after the legal foster process has been completed. The Director General of the Dubai Department of Health and Medical Services praised this program enthusiastically, calling it a “very successful” programme. Many of these orphaned children are already married and happy in their respective lives.
There is a well-formed mechanism in Dubai to encourage the help of orphanage children. The state takes full responsibility for these deprived children and has established ward 16 at Al Wasl Hospital; the hospital authority takes care of these children. The authorized person said that the children are taken to the hospital and their health and condition are checked and then they are admitted to the pediatric wards and the authorities try to find out about their real parents if they cannot find them, such children are admitted to the ward 16 and become a ward of the state.
All over the world, people work for the welfare of orphans. North London Gas Alliance in London has been working to improve the lives of these children. Great efforts are being made in countries such as Europe, Africa, the US, Asia and Russia. The great efforts of Mother Teresa have resulted in changing the lives of millions of children. As she well said: “Nothing disturbs you, nothing scares you. Everything happens: God does not change. Patience achieves everything who lacks nothing from God.”
To effect change for these underprivileged children, we all act together, the government must make permanent arrangements to provide them with a healthy environment and give them equal opportunities. It is important to educate children who have parents that these orphaned children also need their help and support, not sympathy.
I have investigated that there are NGOs and the social organization is playing a more important role than government agencies, so government agencies should increase their active participation. It was also necessary to raise awareness so that society would accept them and give them respect and love. Education must be available and they must be encouraged to study well and become responsible citizens.
