A Chernivtsi Orphanage

There were between 11 and 13 cribs full of infants in each room of this orphanage.
This is the entry door to the above orphanage (in a large city). You can see the state of disrepair, common in most buildings.

Orphanages now receive state help, so we do not ship clothes to them any more. Here I am at one of my last visits to an orphanage that, as you can see, has more adequate resources. We will ship clothes to our teacher-agents who are more than happy to distribute them to needy children in their school districts. You can see an example of this in one of the other posts where a small 15 year old boy - one of 5 children in a single mother home, receives a much needed winter coat and pants - he had been going to school in the winter in only a thin t-shirt.
