An attempt to create cheer in a very sad place.
This young man has been here almost a year, but he had the sweetest spirit.
These are pictures some of the children do since they have a lot of time.
The mothers stay in the hospital with their children and care for them. What about the one's at home you ask?
This was the actual doing of the class for the kids and showing the girls how to do it. I am so blessed at times that this ministry is moving out for others to do besides me. I am especially gratified when Ukrainians do it because it will continue long after I'm gone.
This is a page from the book of a 9 year old Girl, Anya. Though she was very subdued, I could see by her book she had great fun. It is my joy to be able to be a small part of giving that enjoyment to children. To Him be the glory.
Please pray for these children and the girls ministering to them. My unending thanks to all those who supply materials that I can do this work. I am so blessed.

I'm glad you were able to go, Coleen. What a blessing to see growth of the seeds you've been planting. What kinds of materials do you need, and how would we go about getting them to you? I can always thin my stash. :)
What a great impact that you sharing your scrapbooking skills will have on the kids. Not only the creative & emotional release it will provide, but also giving them something to focus on. I know when I am involved in an art or craft project it seems to have a soothing effect.
There is always reward in service and this is wonderful service and bless you as well as the children for the care given
Love Dawn xx
Such a great thing to do and a really nice post x
It is very important to have contacts of good hospitals when you are travelling. This is much more important in Eastern Europe countries like Ukraine, because quality of medical services there is often not very good. I created a directory of Ukrainian hospitals you may rely on while your travel to Ukraine. This travel directory also contains very useful information on accommodation, entertainments and transfers in Ukraine.
