During our annual visit to Nikolaev Orphanage, we decided to take portraits of children so they have professionally made head shots. We picked one of brightest rooms in the dormitory and had started shooting there, using window light. The atmosphere was fun because kids were surprised that someone is taking their picture. The line up was not ending and we were running out of memory.

Kharkov Orphanage is in Urgent Need! There are twenty two blind kids in the Kharkov Orphanage that urgently need winter clothes. As one of the examples to illustrate the need is that kids go outside for a walk in shifts, because they do not have enough winter coats for everyone.

The I Will Computer Room has been such a success that in only two short years, the equipment has become worn from excessive use! In a surprise visit to Ukraine I Will delivered and installed the new peripherals. The kids took on the role of apprentice, assisting the installation and joyously thanking the I Will representatives. Photographs commemorate this occasion.
Ochakov Orphanage, Ukraine
While the trip to Ochakov was total fun, it was a real eye opener to learn of the terribly poor condition of the bathrooms at the orphanage. It was absolutely heartbreaking to think that children had to bath in a space that was no better finished than a dungeon, no hot water and barely any fresh water.
