I think we should hold similar events as frequently as possible as they are indeed of great help to people.

Accept our sincerest gratitude!
On 16 February, 2015, some staff changes took place at the Centre. The Fashchenko-Ogranovych family had been working at the Centre since 2012. Despite all the hardships, they were very sympathetic to the kids’ situations and problems, treated every child with patience and love, and helped them make better choices in life. While they were working here, seven children from their family group had found their permanent families. Three kids were adopted, two returned to their biological parents, and another two were placed under the custody of their biological grandmother. Nevertheless, the kids remain in close contact with Oksana and Andriy and ask them for help and advice.
