Orphanages

"A Father to the fatherless is our God"

There are numerous state institutions in our city where orphans ranging in
age from babies to age 16 live.  Currently we have Love Ukraine
people serving the children in 4 of these orphanages. Our work is varied
depending on the ages of the children and always includes personally being with
the children, praying with them, providing food supplements, vitamins, medicines
when needed and clothing.  We minister to the older children in
small group settings where we teach life skills according to God's Word
and see that individual children receive quality time and experience a
sense of being special that something is lacking in any institutional setting.

	Birthdays are celebrated with joyful parties. Some of the children have never experienced a birthday party of their own.
			These orphans are happy friends.

Many Ukrainians have personally become involved with individual orphans and take them home for the weekends. This gives the children an opportunity to experience family life.
	Some now refer to it as their "home".			A Christian friend comes by and brings them strawberries.
