Caring for a child that feels abandoned is no easy task. Folks at GIOH are well trained in dealing with the specific issues that arise from feelings of being left alone in the world as so many orphans in Israel and around the world feel. They understand ways to make 
these kids feel less alone and help them grow past the hardships of their situations.
That said, the best way to make these kids feel less alone is the camaraderie that develops in Jewish orphanages between the children. Each child has their own story of how they ended up at the orphanage, but the through lines on those individual stories can help tie people together with incredibly special friendships akin to having siblings. You grow up with people in a similar situation and as you grow you learn who you can lean on. The proximity in these places alone would be sure to build lasting relationships, but the unique individual humanity of the people is what makes those relationships so very important.
Building human connection can be difficult with the frayed nerves and emotional rawness that can occur at such a young age. The connections available to kids through the GIOH can help create a new normal for these kids.
