Orphanage in Ukraine | Helping Children who have lost their parents

Hello, my name is Anna. When I was three years old, my father began to drink alcohol and he left the family. Within two years my parents got divorced, and my mother brought me up alone.

I studied at Teaching and Educational Complex N 8. I did sports gymnastics for 5 years and have the 3rd adult grade.

I finished Music School, where I was in the piano department, and I did track and field for four years and also have the 3rd adult sports grade.When I was finishing 9th grade, military operations began.

It was unsafe to stay in the town and I left for Svyatogorsk along with my friends. There I lived in a camp for refugees and worked as a volunteer. I also attended a local school there, where I studied for 6 months.

We were able to leave the area of military operations, after my mother had found a job and place to live in Odessa and I finished 10th grade there. We lived in a very damp room my mother began to have a heavy allergies, which developed into asthma. She couldnt work anymore, and had to quit her job.

I entered Odessa Teachers Training School, and Im currently a student there.
