JUNE 2009 Vocational StudentsUpdate on the 2009 Orphanage "graduates": Below is a listing of the 2009 O12 Graduates who currently have sponsors. An Orphan Smiles is very appreciative that these young adults have had someone in their life who is a friend and who cares for them.
Anya B (Born May 30) SPONSORED - Second Year of Sponsorship 2010-2011
A little about Anya. Anya is enrolled in a two year sewing school. She is a special girl! She is very quiet and shy. She has a significant speech impairment that makes it hard for her to communicate with others. Anya is a very good helper and the caretakers appreciated all that she did when she lived at the Orphanage. She helped in the kitchen and helped with housekeeping. No one cleans as thoroughly as Anya does! She likes to listen to music and watch TV. She comes to the orphanage almost every day after school to do her homework. Anya is appreciative that Tom & family are sponsoring her.
Kolia M (Born Feb 9th, 1991) SPONSORED - Second Year of Sponsorship 2010-2011
Meet Kolia M! He came to Kiev Orphanage 12 in 1998, so he considers it his home. Koila likes music, especially pop and rap. He loves watching action movies and comedies on the television. He also likes to cook! Koila is attending a culinary school. Last Christmas Koila received a special opportunity to travel to Prague with another O12 GAP student and an AOS volunteer. He enjoyed his special trip so much and was very appreciative to those who helped with the plane tickets. Koila shares his room with another O12 Grad, Tolik, who had no where else to live. Cynthia and her family are excited to be Koila's sponsor and enjoy cheering him on.
Luda Y (Born April 15, 1991) SPONSORED - Second Year of Sponsorship 2010-2011
Introducing Luda. She is a quiet, shy girl who had lived at Kiev Orphanage No. 12 for eleven years before starting vocational training. Now she lives in a halfway house associated with the orphanage where she can take care of herself under the guidance of the orphanage workers. This is a good transition to independent living in the future. However, we are not sure what will happen to Luda once she graduates from the trade school in June 2011 and moves out of the half way house. She doesn't really have a place to live in Kiev. Luda likes to dance, cross-stitch, watch romantic movies and listen to romantic songs. She is preparing herself for adult life by attending a sewing trade school.
Vitalik T (Born May 13, 1990) SPONSORED - One Year Sponsorship Ending 2010
Vitalik is a quiet guy. When he first came to the orphanage in 1996 he didn't speak to anyone at all. He was, however, always very helpful when he lived there! He could often be found helping the orphanage kitchen staff, the janitor, or others. He likes to do all types of 'hands on' work. He also likes pop and rap music and watching television. With the help of sponsor Lynn and her family, he was able attend a construction school for the 2009-2010 school year and he graduated in June 2010. He did very well in school and likes physical work. We are hoping he can find some employment. In the meantime he visits the Graduate Support Center at Orphanage 12 almost daily. |
