In Bali, children worked as orphans in a fake orphanage (5 photos)

In Bali, it was discovered that the very famous orphanage "Jodie O'Shea's House", which collected a huge amount of donations from tourists, turned out to be... a fake. Most of its children have healthy parents, and the kids went to the orphanage to work as orphans for tourists.





All because this orphanage was incredibly popular on Australian social networks. Many travelers from this country stopped by, started collecting money to help this orphanage from their own country, there was a whole wave across the country. In general, they behaved like foreigners who would be a sin not to "cut" the locals. It was founded in 2007, it is named after Australian Jodie O'Shea, who died during the Bali bombings (criminal attack). She died saving other people, so she became a local legend. So in her honor they opened an orphanage, which usually housed up to 100 children.



A typical tourist who doesn't read the atmosphere came to visit the poor children, everything in Bali was shameful

Since Jodie was a heroine, the orphanage always received increased international attention and donations. And the orphanage lived very richly, until it fired several of its workers. And then they started talking. At the time of the disclosure of the secret, as reported by the dismissed teachers, of the 94 children in the shelter ONLY SIX actually had no parents. It was a fake orphanage, which gave small dividends for each child who lived in this house. However, the constant visits of tourists and taking pictures with them interfered with the children's studies and going to school, so they were losing to their peers in academic performance.





The children's work is to thank donors on social networks.

Some believe that this is a form of modern slavery. Although it is strange, the children in the rich orphanage looked good, dressed nicely, their main job was to act as a happy orphan child for the cameras. Since the exposure of the orphanage by Jody about Shi, he had to write on his website that “yes, not all the children who came to us are orphans. But they have poor parents, and with us they can live richer.” And the federal government of Australia decided to issue a ban on funding such institutions by Australian tourists, and also strictly prohibit fundraising for such places in schools and universities. As you understand, the government did not buy the letter about “half-orphans”.



They say that in Africa, orphanages borrow children from each other when volunteers come to them

In general, fake poor people and hungry children are a huge income market for entire communities in Bali, India, Pakistan. The pity market is one of the largest, and the "fattest" for milking are usually tourists from the USA, Australia, Canada. As for me, I can hardly imagine such a gullible person who would go to take pictures with poor children from an orphanage somewhere in Bali. If you want to go to an orphanage, go to your own.



This shelter is one of the most famous scam shelters in Asia
