Ukraine – Orphanage Visit, Day 2

The team has limited access to WiFi today, so today’s post will be a bit brief::

Ukraine – Orphanage Visit, Day 1

Ukraine – Week 2, Day 4

On Thursday we got to give presentations at the local orphanage. 50 invitations were given out to organizations and professionals in the community to come and see us demonstrate treatment methods. The room was packed and everyone seemed very attentive. We used children at the orphanage to help demonstrate techniques, and the kids were great!

We headed out early this morning to drive to Kharkiv to visit another orphanage. This is our second year to work with them, and they were ready for our arrival!

Ukraine – Week 2, Day 3

Today was another incredibly busy day! We drove to a nearby town to work with more families with kids with special needs. The building we used was a kindergarten center that sees lots of kids with special needs, and the director was so happy to have us there.

Ukraine – Week 2, Day 2

One of TEAMworks Ukraine’s biggest goals is to encourage parents of children with special needs to keep their children. These families have very few resources and receive very little help, so we desire to do whatever we can to educate them, provide them with equipment, and encourage them as they try to care for their children the best they can.
