These three children
need sponsors as of April 9, 2009. I hope someone steps up and takes them. Look just above and read the instructions on how
to find them on An Orphan Smiles. You can put a smile on a young person’s face and in fact literally save a life. . David . P.S. You will have a birthday with them coming
up quickly. You can make it special. ..
There is a new emphasis and section here on ukraineorphans.net.
It is about the orphans who are graduating out of their orphanages, usually at age sixteen with a possible ninth grade
education. Possible means perhaps.

My small efforts to help Ela have opened my eyes to this
need. Her orphanage directors did their best for her, but they are constrained by the system and their limited resources.
It has taken a strong advocating
group for Ela, starting with Sonia Paz Baron-Vine in California, to a wonderful gentleman in Moscow, to three orphanage directors
and especially to Inna and Albert in Zaporozhie. Please

"Student Organization Grows Project to Help Orphans" . "Between the ages of 15 and 18, many orphans in Ukraine fall victim to drugs, prostitution and even
suicide as they are forced to the leave the orphanage and transition into adulthood. . "But a group of University of Maryland undergraduates in the QUEST program at the Robert H. Smith School of Business is out to make a difference in
those young lives. . "By the
end of the semester they had built an organization, come up with a unique way to use photography to connect donors with orphans,
built a Web site, and started collecting money." . Please click on the flag to read more!

| Christmas at Hope Orphanage |
Christmas Holiday at the Orthodox orphanage «Nadezhda» .
By Inna
Grigorjeva, translated by Inna Nigay. deti.zp.ua 2009-03-11 .
"The orphanage 'Nadezhda' was opened by efforts and prayers of Zaporozhskiy
and Melitopolsky Metropolitan Vasily. The main objective of the school is social and pedagogical rehabilitation of the children
without parental care. But even the best social pedagogical rehabilitation cannot substitute the necessary parental care,
cannot warm up their frozen hearts and sad eyes, and cannot fulfill their souls with light and joy. .
"Only life with belief can give all this to the child." . I have come to believe this to be true. Governments can not do it, at any place
and at any time. Governments evolve to take care of themselves. They can not take care of our children. . Please click on the photo for this wonderful journal and album. . .

Bryan man spreading the sounds of joy to Ukraine's orphans . From TheEagle.com By Jim Butler March 18, 2007 . “His unlikely story starts in
2001, when Stuart accompanied his elder son, Randal, to Odessa..... .
“ ‘I ended up teaching at the orphanage every day,' Stuart said.
” . About George Stuart, Bob Hobson writes,
“all it would take is people sending him $5.00 each to help him…..apparently he has used up his savings doing
what he's doing.” .

journey with the orphans - click on his photo!

Did I not
learn from the Starfish Thrower?
. Time and Tide wait for no one. Time is running out for Nastya Sizonenko.
It was my opinion that
I was doing all that I could for those I should.
. Then once again I read the story of
the Starfish Thrower and looked at that big jar of coins I have been saving until it’s full.
. Why full I asked myself.
Act now. I must have at least $30.00 in there that I can send now and count tomorrow. Nastya’s time is not waiting for
someone to count, her tide is now very literally running out.
. So I shall act. Click on her photo
and follow the page down to the bottom and there click on “Another way of donation”.
. I trust Albert and the
people in Zaporizhzhya. I have donated before and they account for every penny and allocate exactly as I request.
. Now is the time.
. Thanks, David .

Street
concert in the center of Zaporozhye was the first step to Vladik's rescue . By
Irina Gavrisheva, Ирина
Гавришева Published September
22, 2008 .
.. “Last
two weeks turned Vladik's life, his parents lives and also ours ones. First it was news about high probability of leucosis,
then diagnosis verification and the recommendation of unrelated marrow bone transplantation and at last news that transplantation
must be done as soon as possible. . “We have only few months to gather the necessary sum of money. . “Few months… It is not enough…
but we have no choice. We remember Daniil Pshenichniy for whom we also had to collect money for unrelated marrow bone transplantation
in Israel. . “In his case 2 years passed from
the beginning of gathering up to the moment of transplantation! This term is huge and Vladik has no much time to wait.” . Please click on the photo to visit the people of Zaporozhye. You will see Irina in her wheel chair. Come back here
and scroll down this opening page and click on the articles by and about Irina, a remarkable lady. .

to her will be good. Short, happy, and in English, Ukrainian or Russian are all good. I attempt to translate Ira’s message
to Anne into Ukrainian and Russian..2009/5/10 Ирина
Гавришева <hematologia@mail.ru>. . Hi, Anne. . I am ok now. It was very hard surgery with a lot of problems, but thanks God now I am ok. Now I am in the hospital,
