Hello Friends!
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 from “dismal” to “early death.” Their only chance is to go to vocational education 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. Scroll all the way down below the 2008 teens’ photos to see the appeal we made last year. Information is still as it was, EXCEPT that the program is a PROVEN SUCCESS after the 2008 graduates have gone through this first year.
Their sponsors have gotten letters and photos all year!

Please say you will send $50 per month for full support
or $25 per month for ½ support (you can team up.)
These 10 grads already believe that they will have sponsors. If we do not help, there will be no one that these kids can turn to! You can literally give a teen A LIFE!
WE MUST NOT LET THEM DOWN!
Thanks, Natalie, Beatriz, and Anna
We have the 2009 teen’s introduction letters, just e-mail us to see them! They will be on the site soon. No obligation!
