Follow the link below for the latest update .. well worth a couple of minutes reading to see how Hibs supporters are helping to change the lives of orphanage children in Ukraine.
In the link you can read about the leaving party of 18 year old Tonya. She was just 8 years old when she came under the fold of Dnipro Kids, at the Odinkovka Orphanage. With the transition from large orphanages to smaller "family type" orphanages we were lucky to still have Tonya on board as she moved to the Hasanskaya "family" orphanage. Tonya was supported through our Child Sponsorship Scheme, by Hibs supporter Carol Lyster, and was involved in all of our excursions too interesting places over the last 10 years. Over these years Carol has also sent Tonya many gifts from Scotland, and as a committee member was lucky enough to meet with her in Ukraine on an organised excursion.
If you'd like to get involved with regular sponsorship of children in our oprhanages then please get in touch.
There's also some nice photos of the kids, with big smiles, from our latest birthday event and from our Spring Trip to the Kharkiv Waterpark Complex.
