Help adopted kids with special needs get education

Dear friends, today we want to tell you about achievements of Ilya, our project’s participant. Teenager Ilya is studying in a private school with your support for the second year, and this certainly produces results - Ilya gets the opportunity to establish himself in society and to develop further. And now it is very important for the boy to believe in himself.

The supervisor of Ilya’s class says: "When Ilya came to the class, it was very hard for him. We started with training him to handle a whole 40 minutes lesson. Ilya was a very introvert person and it took us much effort to show him that he also has the abilities. Now he has progressed in studying, has made friends at school and has developed his own interests. Ilya continues to be closed in himself in failure situations, and we help him to deal with it together."

Ilya is a very creative person. He loves to draw and goes to pottery. 

Now Ilya especially needs the support of teachers genuinely interested and attentive to his future path in society. The experience of such a respectful interaction with the teachers is very important for him.

You help Ilya and children like him to study and to become successful persons, which believe in themselves. Your donation today (at any time from 9 am EDT on March 16 till 23:59 pm EDT on March 16 or from 16:00 on March 16 till 6:59 on March 17 in Moscow time zone) will be increased by GlobalGiving. We will know the percent of increase and the amount of the bonus at the end of The Day - it will depend on the total amount of funds raised on The Day. But we have good news! Absolutely each project that receives donations of unique donors within the specified time will get a bonus from GlobalGiving as well as our project.

We are grateful to you, who enabled Ilya to learn at this school. And we ask you to support the project now. You give hope for the better future for Ilya’s family and for other children and families. A lot of thanks to you!

The year is coming to the end. What can we tell about our children this year?

They had successes and achievements, they had difficulties and problems. It is a time of growth, but it is never easy.

Teenagers Ilya and Dima are experiencing difficult times. Like all teenagers in the world, they have become contradictory, arguing with adults, checking their independence, defending their opinion.

We are very pleased that caring teachers from the finest private schools surround each of them during this adolescent crisis. They are the teachers who are looking for an individual approach, who are sensitive to behavioral problems, who are willing to support and help the boys to move forward. And we are pleased to thank you again and again for your support of the children and the opportunity to study in these schools you give them. We hope that the next year will become a year of overcome and new opportunities for the boys!

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you! We wish you and your family health and great happiness. Thank you very much for helping!
