SUMMER 2008 CHILD PROFILES
|
 Kolya,
age 11, is pictured on the beach during his visit to San
Diego in 2007. His mother, Irina, a single parent, is raising
her sister's 4 children as well as her own 2 children in
a one bedroom flat. Kolya and Katya (below) are cousins.
Kolya is a good student and is often responsible for caretaking
the 4 younger kids. Children of Chernobyl Foundation is
sponsoring his 2008 return visit, and we are currently looking
to place him with a host family.

 Katya,
age 10, enjoys Maria Sharapova’s Tennis Match in 2007. Katya,
whose father died, subsequently was removed from her mother’s
home, along with her three brothers. Katya is being raised
by her aunt Irina along with 5 other children. Katya is
fortunate that her 2007 host family will be sponsoring her
return visit in 2008.

 Olechka,
age 15 comes from a particularly destitute situation. She
and her younger sister are being raised by their father
after their mother died from a car accident eight years
ago. Despite her many hardships at home, she blossomed last
summer under the care of her loving host family. This host
family had to move out of the country, but Olechka is
fortunate to have been placed with a loving, new host
family. Her return visit will also
be sponsored by Children of Chernobyl Foundation.

 Yegor,
age 9 is pictured with his host family’s dog during the
summer of 2007. Yegor lives with his grandmother who is
his legal guardian. He lost his father several years ago;
his mother remarried and was 8 months pregnant when she
and the unborn child passed away due to heart failure. Yegor
loves to swim and gets along with everybody. The Children
of Chernobyl Foundation is sponsoring his return visit,
and he has been placed with a host family.

 Dima,
age 10, is pictured rowing a boat while visiting San Diego
last year. Dima’s return visit is also being sponsored by
the Children of Chernobyl Foundation. Dima lives with his
supportive father and his sister, after losing his mother
several years ago. Dima is very bright, loves to swim, and
is a natural leader. We are also looking for a host family
for his 2008 visit.
