                                         About Us

 
                 Please make sure that you visit all of our pages, because we are  constantly adding  new information.
 
    The Orphans Ministry has been working since 2002 year. The advantage of our organization is
   deep devotion of our team to the problems of orphans. Many volunteers are the part of our
   team: we have primary school teachers having great experience in working with kids, college 
   teachers, a psychologist as well as teenagers from problem-free families. The reason is the
   only one – the problems of orphans have touched their hearts.
 
             
   

   We cooperate with various organizations, foundations, separate volunteers, and public

   authorities. We search for every opportunity to spread information about our activity not only in

   the society but at the web-sites as well. You can find much more information about us at

   www.orphansmi.org . Now the site is being updating.

   We have got our email: fathersheartmi@yahoo.com   or fh.orphans@yahoo.com It helps us

   to keep in touch with those who take care of the same problems as we do. Our Mission also

   has its own bank account. Please click "Contact Us" tab to donate.


   This year we have already realised some short-term and long-term projects. We regularly visit

   six orphanages in Zhitomir region. During these visits we help kids with humanitarian

   supplies – clothes, shoes, stationery, soap, toothpaste and food. In summer we had

   special  camps in several orphanages. The camps were arranged for normal kids as well as

   disable kids.


   The team of our Mission is eager to learn and we are ready for cooperation. During the

   summer of 2007 (July 12-24) together with volunteers from the USA we took part in Summer 

   Children Camp in Odessa. It wa a great chance of exchanging experience and skills in working

   with orphans.We regret to acknowledge that public authorities can not provide orphans with 

   normal standards of life, as well as they can not form the mature personality and assist such

   kids in studying according to the current standards.

   That’s the reason why most Ukrainian orphanages are open to work together with alternative

   organizations, our Mission is one of them. 
 

 

            

 

            Tasks and aims

 
    We intend to continue our work on the long-term project aimed to help an orphan find his
 

    niche in this society. The Project is intended for improving the life of such kids, vocational

    guidance, mastering additional skills, and psychological rehabilitation. We intend to pick up

    the most gifted kids (5- 10) and provide them with psychological consulting, we are going to

    teach them computer skills and knowledge they may need. We also plan to help kids define

    their talents, choose the profession and then find them individual sponsors and  scholarships

    to help them fulfil themselves. 


             Short-term Projects

             Improving medical service

    For the reason of insufficient medical service many kids in orphanages have health
 problems

    especially dental ones. We intend to organize the team of doctors (volunteers) or accumulate

    resources for paying the doctors for visiting the orphanages especially those ones that are far

    from the region centre. Among the priorities is organizing the alternative independent

    psychological consulting service the task of which will be regular visits to the orphanages to

    consult the kids and the staff. Also we plan to have hot line to be reached at any time.


    Our members are ready for organizing different clubs and optional courses in the orphanages

    to help kids fulfill themselves and realize their talents. Besides clubs the kids need

    elementary knowledge.Unfortunately, public authorities can only provide the group of about

    thirty kids with one or two teachers.It goes without saying, that it’s insufficient to be able to

    increase the level of the kids’ knowle especially taking into consideration that an orphan has

    many emotional scar.


    In view of our plans we need more tuition, cooperation, and experience exchange. So we  

    intend to conduct the educational seminar involving various specialists, and those who care

    for orphans. We realize that to extend our activity we need not only investments but also

    detailed studying (for example, statistical information) of the sphere we are involved in –

    detecting kids’ needs, relationship they have. We are going to involve specialists to get

    information like that and make it available at the seminar we are planning to hold.


    Building trust relationships with kids and staff in orphanages is among the priorities. So we

    devote much time to search for finances to go to the orphanages that are situated at different

    distances from the region city regularly. We have to acknowledge that orphanages situated

    far from the city are paid less attention and support than those ones that are near the city. 

    As of now the Mission is seeking for additional investments to embody short-term and
 

    long-term projects.

    Our organisation needs our own transport to be able to reach any orphanage, even the most

    remote.

    The main activity of the organization depends on the staff that will be participating in

    the projects and working conditions in orphanages (how much time can be spent for

    Mission’s  projects). 
    To realize long-term projects the team needs technical devices, I-net access, a

    copying machine as well as funds to involve doctors, psychologists and others. 

    In short-term projects we intend to involve: Educational project – 100 kids in the course

    of three years;

    Project for improving living conditions – 600 kids in the course of three years;

     Medical project – 90 kids in the course of a year Providing Mission’s staff and volunteers - 50

    people in the course of two years.

    In the long-term project of adaptation and rehabilitation of kids we intend to involve 10

    children in the course of three years.

    Availability of the information about the Mission’s activity. (Some already in progress):

              1. Web site – in the course of a year. 
              2. Posters, flyers - in the course of three years.
              3. Orphans’ photos exhibition – in the course of six months.
              4. Children’s paintings exhibition - in the course of a year. 


 
   We feel real about the possibilities we have, nevertheless we acknowledge that individual
 

   donors and sponsors’ investments will not be enough for the plan said above.The advantage

   of the presented plan is that every project is of current importance, besides every project can

   be realized separately.

 

   We have made out these projects not just to improve orphans’ life but to change the

   quality of it that demands constant financing in the course of several years. 

 

 

                                                                 

 

 

We simply can not do it alone. We need your help to help more children.
