The visit provided volunteers with the opportunity to gain knowledge about the foundation’s programs and services, understand its admission process, and learn about the situations of children admitted to the facility. It also offered insights into the interventions provided by the foundation and how these contribute to child protection and development.

Beyond acquiring knowledge, the visit allowed volunteers to engage more deeply with the realities faced by vulnerable children, fostering empathy and a stronger sense of responsibility as Child Rights Advocates. The experience also encouraged volunteers to reflect on how they can actively support and promote child rights within their own communities.
