Can You Help The Orphans This Christmas?
"The Donations we receive will go a long way to making the lives of the kids so much easier and more enjoyable. We intend to give the children a proper Christmas Party with proper hot food, cakes and juice, chocolate, sweets and their own toys. The party will have 'Father Frost', the Ukrainian Santa with a distinct Edinburgh Accent, entertainers, songs and music. Most of these kids have never experienced that.
We also want to ensure that the orphans are kitted out for the severe winters they have in Dnipropetrovs'k and the warm clothing and boots we buy help do just that. Educationally we hope to assist in keeping the children's classrooms up to date. The state finance only one of the Sanatoriums classes, we hope to improve the other classrooms in the facility.
Remember the kids live in an institution, and we hope that buying simple things like some curtains, decent bed linen and fixing small things like broken tiles on floors improve the surroundings.
To date we have managed to purchase such items a petrol mower to cut the grass in the acres of grounds, a TV/DVD and Video player and DVD's to cheer up the long dark winter days, Kettles and Hairdryers, previously unheard of in the facility, Medical equipment to help remove the problems that TB bring to children, warm clothing, sports equipment, seating, toys, games, nappies, soap, toothpaste and tooth brushes and a mobile phone for those emergencies that are bound to come when looking after so many youngsters. Donated Hibernian Scarves, Hats and Shirts ensure that the Green and White of the club will not be forgotten in the East of the Ukraine.
Please give generously, lets ensure we continue to give a little bit back to those less fortunate than ourselves." View All News Items
