Boys Orphanage—BART
This Abandoned Car Hides A Story
We want to inform you that a child was recently found alive in an abandoned car, left unprotected and without anyone to look after him. In response to this situation, our orphanage immediately took him in to provide a safe environment, proper care, a balanced diet, and all the affection he needs.
We are committed to ensuring his well-being, safety, and dignity, while guiding him toward a brighter future. We sincerely thank all our partners, benefactors, and friends who support us in this noble mission of protecting and caring for the most vulnerable children.
Thanks to your generosity, we can continue to offer hope and a fresh start to those who need it most. Together, let us continue to protect every child and build a future filled with hope.
Our Boys
About Our Boys
Boys are young individuals who are growing, learning, and developing into responsible adults. Each boy is unique, with his own personality, talents, dreams, and abilities. Like all children, boys need love, care, protection, quality education, proper healthcare, and a safe environment to thrive.
Through learning, play, sports, and social activities, they build confidence, develop important life skills, and learn values such as respect, honesty, kindness, and responsibility. With the right guidance and support, boys can grow into confident, compassionate, and responsible men who make positive contributions to their families and communities.

Education
In an orphanage, education plays a vital role. It gives children the opportunity to dream, to hope, and to build their future despite the challenges they face. It teaches them not only to read and write, but also to live with self-confidence, to live with others, and to become valuable members of society.
In short, education is a precious asset that enriches life, shapes character, and prepares each child for a brighter future.
Jenovic M scored 63％ on the state exam.
Congratulations on this impressive achievement, and we wish him great success in his future academic journey.
Children’s Activities During the School Term
During this period, the boys at the orphanage participated in several activities aimed at their physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual development:
- Regular attendance at school classes.
- Supervised study after school.
- Cleaning and maintenance work at the orphanage, etc.
Office Activities
Office activities are the administrative and management tasks carried out to ensure the smooth running of the orphanage. These activities support the daily care of the children and help the institution achieve its goals effectively.
In an orphanage, office activities are very important because they help in planning, communication, reporting, and coordination of all services provided to the children.
They also ensure that donations, supplies, finances, and important documents are well managed.
It is with great joy and deep respect that I participate in the opening of the Galilee District Conference.

Medical Care
In an orphanage, medical care is a key part of child welfare. Children should have access to clean water, good hygiene, balanced meals, and regular visits to health centers. Sick children need immediate attention, and all medical records should be properly followed to ensure continuous care.
In summary, medical care is essential for the well-being, safety, and future of every child. A healthy child is more likely to learn well, grow confidently, and live happily.
Dear Partner,
We want to inform you of the medical situation of a child currently in our orphanage’s care. Following medical examinations, healthcare professionals have determined that the child presents a variation in sex characteristics (intersex) – a condition requiring specialized care.
Doctors have recommended surgery and ongoing medical monitoring to ensure the child’s health and well-being. Unfortunately, our orphanage lacks the financial resources to cover the costs of this treatment.
We are therefore appealing to your generosity and solidarity. Any support you can provide will help ensure this child receives the necessary care and a healthier future.
We sincerely thank you for your attention, compassion, and commitment to the most vulnerable children.
