Many children in the welfare home have certain physical defects, and it is difficult for them to accurately express their demands, but they are particularly eager to get the warmth and love of their mothers, and the longing for maternal love is hidden in their bright and shy eyes.
Longing for maternal love is the child's instinct, and a hug from the mother can bring great peace of mind to the child. But there is such a group of winged angels, who grew up in welfare homes and never understood what "maternal love" is.
Yesterday afternoon, the reporter came to the Lishui Wandi Love Children's Welfare Institute, and the children woke up from a nap and were getting dressed, eating snacks, and preparing for the health education class with the help of nursing staff and teachers. These children have never met their parents, for whom the welfare home is sheltered from the wind and rain, and the caregivers and teachers who take care of them are the "mothers".
I long for my "mother" to spend more time with myself
Even for a minute
Abandonment by parents, like innate illness, is the common fate of most children in welfare homes.
Xiaoxue (pseudonym), 11, was in a wheelchair in a daze, smiling at the sight of the caregiver and reaching out for a hug. Xiaoxue has lived in a welfare home since she remembers, and when she thinks of her mother, all she can think of is a nursing staff.
Xiaoxue suffers from congenital diseases, completely paralyzed from the waist down after birth, not only needs to be taken care of in life, but also needs help from outsiders to urinate and defecate.
"My mother helped me get dressed, washed, bathed... She is the most gentle person under the heavens, and I like her the most. Xiaoxue does not understand what "motherly love" is, she only knows that she is very happy with "nursing staff mother".
But there are 12 children in a class, in addition to Xiaoxue, the caregivers also have to take care of others, Xiaoxue longs for "mother" to accompany herself more, even if it is for a minute, but this wish she has never said.
"Mom, I've grown up, so spend more time with your younger siblings." Instead, the sensible Xiaoxue acted as a supervisor for other children, helping the "mother" manage the order. Every day before going to bed, the nurse will tell stories to the young children, Xiaoxue does not know how many times to listen, each time with relish, "I like the story of the prince and the princess the most, my mother said that I am the little princess in everyone's heart." Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"My mom has long hair, big eyes, and a very good-looking smile." 8-year-old Shanshan (pseudonym) shyly slipped into the arms of her teacher as she spoke, and her "mother" was also a nursing staff.
Shanshan, who suffers from rare thalassemia, recently underwent a bone marrow transplant, and the caregiver accompanied her in the hospital's sterile barn for more than a month. "Mom's not here today, she's not coming until tomorrow morning." Shanshan can accurately recite the schedule of the "nursing staff mother", as long as the "mother" goes to work, she runs to the door to greet, and every night she has to hold the Barbie doll that "mother" gave her before she is willing to sleep.
But the "mother" has limited time for everyone, and when there is no one to accompany them, the children will pin their thoughts on the gratitude to the "mother".
Xiaoxue likes to sing, on the eve of Mother's Day, she learned "Mama I Love You", singing to the nurse in her free time, in addition, she also learned to cut paper, make bracelets and other handicrafts, these works are given to her favorite "mother".
Komatsu (pseudonym), a 19-year-old adult in the dean of welfare, is now studying chefs at a vocational school, and every weekend, he will go to the canteen to cook for the "mothers", "I have grown up in college, I want to show my mother a hand." ”
The desire of this group of special children
I just want to be with "Mom"
"There are 12 days left for Children's Day, when we celebrate our birthdays together and we can eat cake." Shanshan counted the days with her fingers, imagining the scene of the holiday with "mother", and her eyes were full of expectation.
In fact, the children in the welfare home did not know their exact birthday, and the staff estimated a birthday according to the time they came to the hospital.
As vague as the date of birth is the children's birthday wishes, who cannot ask for anything other than to be with their mothers.
"I want watercolor pens and notebooks, and I want to see flowers and draw with my mother." Shanshan held her cheek and thought for a while before she said what she wanted. She likes to draw, like flowers and plants, and often takes art classes with her "mother", but in addition, Shanshan can't imagine more requirements.
Komatsu is about to graduate from school, and he doesn't know how to answer his birthday wish. Komatsu is interning in a hotel, the back kitchen is stuffy and hot, and his hands are scalded with hot oil, and he has never shouted hard. But he is about to enter the society, there is still a lot of confusion, "If my mother is around, watch me grow up." ”
In addition to the 61 regularly adopted children, there are 39 disabled children from the social welfare home who are undergoing rehabilitation treatment, and the children who stay in the house can only see their parents during the parents' open day once a month.
"Every time I see my parents at the door, I'm so happy I almost faint." Xiaohui (pseudonym), a 15-year-old in a wheelchair, has been undergoing rehabilitation treatment in a welfare home for 6 years, "but because of the epidemic, they have only come once this year." ”
In the face of the upcoming Children's Day, Xiaohui quietly told reporters, "I want to go out with my mother and eat delicious food together", but he does not know where to go and what to eat, the world is big and colorful, but for children like Xiaohui, many choices do not exist.
Xiaohui stared at the ground and thought for a long time before he thought about his wish - to watch a movie with his mother.
"Don't watch cartoons, those are too childish!" Xiao Hui laughed and said, "I like spy movies and police movies, walking through the rain of bullets and bullets, fighting for justice, having the ability to protect my mother, is the real man." ”
Create an environment of love
Welfare Institute Recruits 100 "Party Member Mothers"
Children growing up in welfare generally lack the love of the family, but they instinctively crave love and care.
"Many children in the welfare home have certain physical defects, and it is difficult for them to accurately express their demands, but they are particularly eager to get the warmth and love of their mothers, and the longing for maternal love is hidden in their bright and shy eyes." Jiang Haiyan, head of the special education group of the Wandi Love Children's Welfare Institute in Lishui City, told reporters that the children will stretch out their hands and will cling to the adults, and every time they are separated, their eyes are full of reluctance and attachment, "That is the children who are eager for the embrace of their parents and eager for a warm home." ”
"Welfare homes not only provide food, clothing and all-round care, but also provide corresponding special education, rehabilitation treatment, art courses and other supporting facilities." Materially, the children here are no less than ordinary children, but mentally they lack sufficient companionship. Lou Yajia, president of the Wandi Love Children's Welfare Institute in Lishui City, said that the nursing staff of the welfare home worked in two shifts to take care of the children 24 hours a day, and the average nursing staff had to take care of 6 children, which was really stretched, "I hope that more social forces will participate in it and jointly create a loving environment for these children." ”
100 orphans and disabled children in The Wandi Children's Welfare Home and the community in Lishui City long for the warm embrace of their mothers, and they are eager to run in the sun hand in hand with their mothers... In order to give these special children more companionship and care, Lishui Wandi Love Children's Welfare Institute and relevant units jointly launched a call for "100 party member mothers" activity a few days ago, and "party member mothers" will hold hands with paired orphans and disabled children, establish a paired relationship, carry out parent-child interactive games, and carry out continuous care services in the follow-up.
After the early publicity of the evening newspaper, caring party members have signed up to participate, and as of now, 100 "party member mothers" have been fully registered.
At the same time, more caring enterprises and caring people are welcome to participate in public welfare undertakings, if you wish, please contact Teacher Li Jingzhi of the Department of Social Engineering, Tel: 2028129.
