ukraineorphans.net is about finding connections
to help Ukrainian orphans avoid the dreadful alternatives of alcohol, drugs, prison, prostitution, suicide. It is
about opportunities for you to do things you never dreamed possible.
Below
this line there are only nine links on this page.

A word about Anne Bates Linden before you click on her portrait
to go to her website, ukraineworksltd.org. Anne is a warrior.

| Anne Bates Linden |
|
| Liz Kulp Braided Cord Tough Times In and Out |
She was in the first wave of Peace Corps
volunteers into Ukraine. Since those
days starting late in 1992 Anne has continued her work to help and protect Ukrainian children. She is tackling one of
the most destructive and pervasive problems in Ukraine, alcoholism and the devastating results of alcohol on the
unborn.
Click on her
portrait. Read about what she is doing. Yes, I'm a fan. Anne inspired me to start this website.
.........................
The edges of time have been blured for me between
Anne Linden and Roksolana - whom did I stumble onto first. Almost simultaneously they both responded to me with
kindness.
.
Before you click on the photo of Roksolana:

| Starving for Color |
Look at the infant - yes, a Ukrainian orphan. Roksolana was very busy supplying high
quality formula to select orphanages in Ukraine when she realized that these children are hungry in several ways. Click on
the baby girl to see the photo full size.
They
are also starved for color and human warmth in their bleak existance. This photo became the icon of Roksolana's
exhibit, "Starving for Color".
Click on the picture of Roksolana. Consider what she is doing. Perhaps you would like to have some ownership.

A very small sample of what Happy Child does.
This excursion happens to be in Zaporizhzhya on Khortytsa, the island made famous by the Cossacks. Before you click on the
Happy Child logo to go their website please consider:
|
| Happy Child Charity Fund |
That's Albert Pavlov, one of
the founders.
|
| Climbing Excursion for Orphans |
There are as many excursions for orphans as
Happy Child can find funding for, camping on Crimea by the sea, trips across country, etc. It all depends on us. There isn't
a big fund of money waiting. It's hand to mouth.
.
Click on the Happy Child logo and find what might be the right thing for you
to support. Here you can make a big difference for the Ukrainian children.

| Andriy Nazarinko, founder of Orphans' Future |
“The Problem: 70% of orphan graduates have no home, and can only share a room in a dormitory
with other two orphans. The other problem..... Without being properly Registered.....”
.
On the right you see Andriy Nazarinko (click on the photo to see full size). He's been
there, he graduated from an orphanage in Ternopil. Meet Andriy and the other volunteers who are doing important things
to help. They don't have deep pockets. They are accomplishing a lot with very little for the Ukrainian orphans.

The
mission of An Orphan Smiles is to improve the social, educational, and physical welfare of orphans in Ukraine. Can they
put a smile on the face of every orphan?
Think
about sponsoring one of their graduating orphans.

“What
we do: According to national statistics, only one in ten Ukrainian orphanage graduates
survives the transition into normal adult life. All others end up “on the streets” in one form or another...... Last Bell
Ministries comes alongside these teens before orphanage graduation, letting them know that there is a family waiting for them.”

The money
is tightly controlled. Thanks to amazing fundraising efforts of Antoine Pesenti during the London Marathon, Ukraine Charity donated £2,000 towards a roof refurbishment for a family-type orphanage
in the village Voloske, Dnipropetrovsk region. The Pinchuk family is raising 10 children and we encourage you to read
their request for help.
