At the moment we have more than 50 children who have graduated from the orphanage, but we only have influence on those with whom we managed to build friendships while they were still in the orphanage. There are children preparing for baptism, and they have become part of the new team.
At the hospice the situation is stable — we deliver personal hygiene items and special baby food every week. In the oncology ward the children are waiting for us, and the parents come every week to our gatherings, where we talk about life and read the Bible.
I ask you to pray for Anya — she is 14 years old and has leukemia. She is being prepared for a bone marrow transplant. Her mother can be the donor, but Anya’s test results are poor, and the doctors are unable to prepare her for the flight and operation.

There is also a very bright little girl named Korkem, she is 9 years old. She also has leukemia, and the doctors are preparing her for a bone marrow transplant; she needs special care, including special nutrition.
We rejoice for little Kristina. She is recovering and, after chemotherapy, has started to improve. I already asked you to pray for her — she is still hospitalized with her mother because she is very young, but very smart.
I want to express gratitude on behalf of the parents and our team for your participation and help! Thank you, dear friends!
