Orran's mission is to:
To accomplish this mission, the staff at the Centers provide the children and elderly with the following services:
Prior to the arrival of the children, the elderly receive a nutritious lunch at the centers six days per week and socialize with one another and the staff during this time.The children walk or take the bus to the centers after school where they have a homemade meal consisting of soup or salad, a hot, nutritious main course and dessert. In preparing the menus, the staff nurses ensure that the children are receiving well-balanced meals six days per week. The children look forward to eating the delicious food prepared by the dedicated and talented Chief Cooks and her their assistants.
After their meal, the children start on their homework with the assistance of three professional teachers at each center. A group of capable national and international volunteers assist with both tutoring and homework supervision, ensuring that each child receives the individual attention that he or she requires to be well prepared for the next day at school.
All children undergo a full medical checkup; those identified with problems are referred to appropriate specialists and receive the necessary treatment. The nurses check the medical status of the children on a regular basis and attend to their daily hygienic needs.
The psychologists evaluate each child upon admission to Orran and work with the children on an individual or group basis as needed. When needed, family members are also counseled.
The social workers are present at the Centers for interaction and intervention with the children and visit their schools and homes, identifying and addressing problems that are affecting the children's behavior. The social workers also organize the distribution of locally and internationally donated clothing and shoes to the children and their families, as well as to the pensioners.
Orran strives to identify and develop children’s interests and talents towards a working career. Courses in macramé (hand weaving), woodcarving, pottery and sewing help children to learn skills and become honest breadwinners of their families when they grow up. In addition to developing children’s artistic skills, these courses serve as an important source of building their self-confidence.
Orran believes that spiritual and cultural enrichment are also important aspects for a child's development. In this regard, field trips to churches, museums, historical sites, monuments, theaters, and amusement parks are organized. The elderly also attend theatrical and musical performances. In many instances, the entrance fees are donated by the institutions being visited.
