In this episode, Peter and Liam from Ballymakenny College in Drogheda, Co. Louth, share their thoughts after visiting the Childs I Foundation in Kampala. Here we learnt about the dangers and negative impacts that institutionalisation has on children; of whom, 80-90% globally, have at least one living parent. We also learnt how well intentioned volunteering in orphanages, can result in more harm to these children than good.
