Andrew & Avril. Andrew
is the visionary who launched the charities. At the age
of 17 he visited a special village in Scotland, where
orphan children lived in small family homes, together
with their house parents. The happy atmosphere made such
an impression on him, that Andrew held onto a dream of
providing similar loving family homes for orphan children,
one day. He has a big heart for orphan children and his
passion is to help them to achieve their fullest potential.
Andrew and his wife, Avril, now live and work in Belarus,
to turn the dream into a reality!

Olga works
in the hospital baby unit that
we support. The children are either orphans or they have
been abandoned by their mother at birth. Some of them
can be in the unit for a whole year. Olga gives
the
babies the motherly love that they so desperately need.
She loves them all very much and she really enjoys her work,
even though it can be quite emotional at times. |

Strategy
and Business Support
All of our UK staff are working on a voluntary basis and without
their dedication to the cause, it would be difficult to develop
this growing charity. We are particularly grateful to Pete
and
Ailsa, who are working hard to impliment a better strategy
of support, especially from the business sector. |
