Dear friends!
Today I want to tell you about our student Galya.
Galya has participated in "Big Change" programs for 8 years. She was in an orphanage since childhood. In 2011, she proved her legal capacity, left the psycho-neurological house, and started to live independently.
With the support of Big Change teachers she graduated 9 classes of secondary school and enrolled in college to study arts and crafts. Our teacher of fine arts Mikhail Nikolaev continued his studies with Galya even during college - she often consulted with him to get an additional opinion on her works. In 2015, with Big Change' support Galya prepared and passed a creative diploma and graduated the college.
Her love to creativity defined her professional career - Galya started to make homemade accessories and sell them. A desire to grow has prompted her a new idea - to continue her studies in Italy, the birthplace of classical art. It was necessary to prepare thoroughly - to take courses and learn Italian, to understand the visa procedure and obtain the visa.
As a result, Galya obtained visa and moved to Italy, she study in the art college. We are so proud of her!!
Thank you so much for supporting us and give us an opportunity to continue our common cause! We hope you are inspired and continue to support Big Change educational program. We can’t do it without you!
