Some of the WBS in the orphanage aresocioeconomically vulnerable women. Most of the WBS already have children, have been abandoned or divorced fromtheir husbands, and have uncertain jobs, so they end up on the street. Brought to an orphanage for training. However,during WBS coaching, they showed negative behaviours such as being emotionally unstable, irresponsible, difficultto accept circumstances, blaming themselves, and being alone.
