RESOURCES & SUPPORT
By clicking on the yellow subtabs above you can access a collection of resources such as links to websites of interest to Village alumni, a link to our discussion group where members discuss a wide variety of aspects of life at the Village, and how to contact us.
The Resources and Support section helps former children of the Village to network with others and explore issues related to: having spent time in a orphanage, or home for dependent children; locating records or birth family; or dealing with traumatic experiences during their stay.
