In this article I try to provide a better understanding of the issue of social bereavement as well as presenting a particular strategy for the re-socialisation and (re)compensation of neglected children. Therefore, on the one hand, the text, as an ethnographic story, presents a variety of methods used to work with children during summer camps, and on the other, I try to learn and present the children’s own understanding of what it means to be a social orphan. My goal is to pass on the children’s stories about the reality they live in, by which I mean: a world in which they are exposed to social inequalities, the reproduction of class structure, and violence of adults towards children.
