Do the children have contact with their families outside of NPH?
Most of the children have contact with their extended families. There are scheduled “Visitors Days” during the year in which children receive visitors. The families arrive and spend the day on the NPH grounds, usually bringing food and beverages. The families usually consist of older siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, and sometimes a parent or grandparent. Older teens usually have a free day in which they are able to visit their family if they choose.
