Support a young person in the care of an institution

We have worked for many years at Zhuravichi Boarding Home, which is situated deep in the countryside in the north of Gomel Region.

It used to be a home for children with disabilities, but now all its residents are young adults.

In the summer we usually fund as many young people as we can to go on holiday, and we send out volunteers both to the Holiday Camp and to the institution itself. But it seems very unlikely that this could happen this year.

To improve the day to day lives of some of the young people we fund a teacher (Luda) and a carer (Inna) to work for extra hours, making sure that Petya and others like him are able to take part in activities and receive a better level of care.

And from time to time we buy craft materials and other supplies the home is short of.

Could you sponsor Luda’s salary for a month? £50

or Inna’s salary? £100

or make a donation towards the purchase of craft materials?

We very much hope that next year we will be seeking funding for holidays again as these mean so much to the young people.

 

 

Whether it’s providing recuperative holidays in the UK for poorly Belarussian children, sending young adults living in institutions to holiday camps in clean parts of Belarus, maintaining 24 hour care for our family in Rodni Kut or, indeed, providing any of our other vital services,we need your help and we need it now! Without the financial support offered by our kind and generous donors we simply would not be able to carry on. We are extremely thankful for every donation, however small, that enables us to continue helping those people of Belarus for whom fate has dealt such a difficult hand of cards. Thank-you!
