What is it like to grow up in an orphanage? What do residents
themselves have to say about their experiences? Are there ways that
orphanages can be designed to meet children's developmental needs
and to provide them with necessities they are unable to receive in
their home communities? In this book, detailed observations of
children's daily life in a Cambodian orphanage are combined with
follow-up interviews of the same children after they have grown and
left the orphanage. Their thoughtful reflections show that the
quality of care children receive is more important for their
well-being than the site in which they receive it. Life in a
Cambodian Orphanage situates orphanages within the social and
political history of Cambodia, and shows that orphanages need not
always be considered bleak sites of deprivation and despair. It
suggests best practices for caring for vulnerable children
regardless of the setting in which they are living.
