What do most children need?
The financial needs in any orphanage are very
similar. There are not enough shoes, clothes, sockets, or pants. Usually the
sizes are incorrect, too. The furniture in the bedrooms is often very old and broken
down. The sheets and blankets are "on their last legs", too. The
children need food- vegetables, fruits, vitamins, and cheese. Emotionally, the
main problem is a lack of love and family warmth. The children don't go on
enough excursions- walks in nature, trips to other cities, or cultural trips.
Children often complain about boredom. A lot of children can't go for bike
rides because the luxury of a bicycle is unavailable in orphanages.
Who are the children of the orphanages?
Often these children have
been diagnosed with mental development disorders. That doesn't mean that a
child is mentally retarded, but that he\she has difficulty in school, has a
poor orientation with time, doesn't know the names of the months and weeks,
etc. The growth and development of these children is usually lower than in
ordinary children. All of this is a consequence of life before the orphanage,
but the atmosphere in the orphanage doesn't promote children's development,
either. Some children started school when they were ten years old or later, and
they have difficulty expressing their thoughts and can't read very well. A lot
of children are from villages. Some of them have spent their entire lives in
orphanages; others just a few mounts. There are some children who were eyewitnesses
of murders of family members. There are some children who were thrown out a
window by their own mother. Some children have never traveled by train, and
have never eaten shashlik (Ukrainian shish kebabs). They can't go for a bike
ride or swim. A lot of them run away from orphanages because they have an
inclination towards vagrant life. All of the children really love visitors;
they run and hug people they don't even know. The children also like hikes and
traveling. They ask many questions about the surrounding world. You can read
questionnaires of the children on the page " Our Children'.
Why should we help these orphans? They are just a
burden on society.
Most
of them, after graduating, become drug addicts, criminals, or
prostitutes. One day, they may meet one of them and be mugged. Our
indifference to this situation brings future problems to all of
society. Secondly, many orphans are very gifted. They could grow up to
be scientists, writers, composers, or artists in the future. We have a
lot of these examples. If the world can love everyone on the Earth as a
whole and understand God's plan, the question "Why should we help?"
will have an obvious answer. Helping neighbors gives a person
extraordinary joy and a feeling that life doesn't pass in vain.
Which guarantees do I have that my help will not be
stolen or used not for the appointment?
You
may personally come to any of the orphanages or children's houses and
help a child and by the way, you are not obliged to tell that you found
out about the orphanage from our website. In the time of the passing
you can validate a document about the acceptance of charitable help. If
you live in another city or country, you may send a package to the
address of the orphanage or to address of creator of this website. You
may find the contact information on the page "How we can be found". All
of your donations will be taken a picture together with the children,
probably on the background of the orphanage. Later you or a person who
you trust may visit an orphanage at any time and make sure your
donation is being used appropriately and about any donation which came
through our website. We can render any other arguments that the help is
used for the appointment. People who created and who support this
website believe in God.
