n February 2012, a delegation led by Tara MacIntosh visited the Yuzhnoukrainsk Orphanage, home of I WILL’s 5th Computer Learning Center. The visit strengthened ties, inspired the children, and was celebrated in the local newspaper — a touching reflection of I WILL’s growing impact in Ukraine.

Just before Ukrainian Christmas, I WILL brought Santa — and a car full of sweets — to Radsad Orphanage, home of the 4th I WILL Computer Learning Center. The visit filled the day with laughter, warmth, and renewed commitment to helping every child thrive.

In Nikolaev, Ukraine, I Will Association is helping 11-year-old Kostia from the village of Veselinovo, who is undergoing chemotherapy treatments. We are covering the cost of his medication and care, and my father recently visited him at the Nikolaev Hospital for Sick Children. We pray for Kostia’s strength, healing, and full recovery.

Longtime I WILL supporter Barbara Kempt from Cape Breton created hand-made dolls, hats, and scarves for children in Yuzhnoukrainsk and nearby orphanages — gifts filled with love that brought comfort and joy to dozens of young lives.

I WILL opened its 4th Computer Learning Center at the Radsad Orphanage, connecting with the ceremony via Skype to witness Vladimir Kotov cut the ribbon and the children perform in celebration — a joyful milestone in expanding education and opportunity across Ukraine.

A local Nikolaev newspaper honored I WILL and its supporters for their heartfelt dedication to children in need, praising their compassion and generosity as acts of kindness “born from an inner call to share humanity.”
