Without apology the severely Disabled Ukrainian Children
shown here do not necessarily make a pretty picture. Be that as it may, these children are deserving of our support and our
love. No greater satisfaction will be found.....
Alice Brew went to Ukraine as an adult Peace Corp
Volunteer. They sent her to Vinnytsia
to Naydia (Hope) a NGO school for Down Syndrome Children. Through her business skills and her art skills she taught
the school and the parents that the children could learn!
Each week Alice took a turn in the class rooms where
she and the students communicated in Russian, Ukrainian, and English. Especially they spoke art together and had fun.
The children began learning things no one there thought they could and they are continuing to do so. Alice is back
home but continues to support her school.
If you could spare a twenty for her children please email Alice at allieprov@yahoo.com

"The photo has very touching history. There is kid
on a picture, who recently has no future because he has been doomed since birth. The terrible diagnosis which put kids at
children's home for HIV-INFECTED children and children sick of AIDS, that is on Donechina, practically does not leave
them chance....."
The growing HIV/AIDS situation in Ukraine is affecting the orphans, wrecking budgets, breaking
families and lowering life expectancy.
We will have more to say about this pressing problem but for the moment
please click on the photo and read the article published and translated to English in Zaporozhye, Ukraine.

Mellowswan Foundation Helping Disabled Orphans
Worldwide Sonia Paz Baron-Vine had a dream of making a difference in the lives of disabled orphans. Sonia is a polio survivor
herself and could relate to their suffering. After raising her three biological children, she adopted one disabled little
girl with genetic malformations from Russia in 1994 and again in 1999 two disabled little boys from Ukraine, also
with genetic malformations, due to their parents exposure to the radiation cloud, that covered Ukraine from the
nuclear accident of Chernobyl. Please click on the photo to go to Sonia’s

Special Needs Orphanage Fund
“A letter from the President”
“In Ukraine, children with disabilities are placed in orphanages shortly after birth and remain institutionalized for life.
"Unlike in the United States,
where early intervention and therapy services help children to achieve the best possible quality of life, children with special
needs in Ukraine face a grim future and a
greatly reduced life expectancy.
“Staff at the orphanages need
education, tools, and equipment to provide the early intervention and therapy these children need to learn, grow, and develop.”
Karen Feathers
“You can participate in this effort in a variety of ways, each of them important.”
