Appendix 15 Children’s Interviews As we were not able to complete the survey of children, we have instead compiled a summary of a few conversations we have had during our work with children’s institutions, in particular in No.2, Shuvelan. At No.38 in Lenkoran: most children at this institution are orphans or have no family contact. The children have got used to such a life in an institution but would like a mother. They imagine that their parents will come to get them at some point. In the meantime, they view their teachers and carers as their parents. When asked what they would like to do when they grow up, one girl said she wanted to be a hairdresser and one a doctor. One boy’s aspiration is to be a driver. At No.2 in Shuvelan: most children have family contact but approximately 30 remain at the institution all year. One day, one of the girls was crying because she had been thinking about her mother. She still loved her mother but understood that she had to work abroad in order to earn enough money to make a home again. This girl said she found strength because her friend at the same institution had no one but at least she still had a mother. In general, the children are more advanced in their attitudes than their age suggests. They have the maturity of adults because they have either seen a life that a child should never see or they know that they must fend for themselves because they have no family. Their understanding is very clear; they believe that sometimes it is better to have no parents than those that some children have. They are most worried about their future because, in their eyes, they do not have one. This belief de-motivates them in their studies and we have only seen them get excited about learning English – through the UAFA English Programme – because they see it as giving them more opportunity in their future.
