Watch Asha and Lan’s Story: ‘Introducing the Family’

Here we are introduced to the fictional scenario running throughout ‘Getting Care Right for All Children: Implementing the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children’. Throughout the next six weeks, through this film we will examine some of the ideas in the UN Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children and topics we will be studying during this course.

This week we will be introduced to a family living in a village in a rural area of a country we have called “Valodystan”. The parents are Ana and Daniel and their two daughters are called Asha and Lan.

In the next step, there will be a discussion where you will be asked to share your thoughts on the story. We will ask you to post your opinions and ideas about Asha and Lan and the situation the family find themselves in.
