CHEERS
for all our supporting friends and dedicated sponsors!
We
know it is a very hard time for everyone, and be assured that present
economic conditions in Ukraine are WAY harder. For a Ukrainian orphan,
graduating and aging out of an internat (orphanage/boarding school)
with a very weak 9th grade education, prospects range are dismal
and may result in early death. Their only chance is to go to vocational
educational training for 2 years and learn a skill. After the very
successful pilot project of sponsorship of 2008 grads, we now have
10 new hopeful grads who trust us to help them.

2008
Program
Fully
Sponsored!
We are introducing to you 12
teens from Green Forest Internat, a boarding school/orphanage
with 160-170 children ages 7 through 17, located few miles outside
Kharkiv. The teens here graduate and age out of the Internat at
the end of May with only a 9th grade education. It really isn’t
that, when compared to the 9th grade levels that you’re familiar
with.
These
“kids” must learn to support themselves and survive. If
they leave the institution without any help, the chances are frighteningly
high that they will succumb to hunger, desperation, criminal activity,
drugs, unemployment, homelessness, violence, trafficking and prostitution,
suicide or early death.
