In April: Grozovo orphanage

Posted: April 30, 2012 by Dobr9k in Grozovo

This month we watched the movie “Saving Lives”. The film is about a boy who witnesses the suicide of his childhood friend. He was tormented by the fault because he had played well in the school basketball team, his popularity among students had increased, and he had ceased to communicate with his friend. Later, he began going to church and often talk with the pastor and his life began to change. He’s soon realized that popularity in school, a party for the “elite” – are not the most important things in life. He decides to save other children from committing suicide, which as well as his friend suffer loneliness and contempt. This film was relevant for the children, because their lives have much in common with the characters of the film. There are leaders and there are those who are considered outcasts. There are problems that can be solved together with love. Many were able to do the appropriate conclusions for themselves, particularly regarding relations with each other and God.
We also talked about loyalty in the relationship between boys and girls. This topic was touched on such questions as: why people are unfaithful? Can we compare infidelity and betrayal? And Can we to evaluate the benefits of being faith?
These issues concern all ages. We have shown that to be true, be a mature man – is always an effort. In this sense, the pleasure, which receives a man from loyalty – is the pleasure of creating his own inner and outer space, in which he can live and grow, enjoying the love and deep relationships. And also loyalty – is a point in the search. It is when you are happy the person whom you have found. You love him not for what he prepares delicious meals, dressing fashionably, or drives a cool car. You just love him for what he is and accept him. You perceive him as a whole, like his personality, and you’re happy with that person. Generally, the topic turned as the conversation, where everyone could express his opinion and talk about his relationship.
In one of the Wednesday we played volleyball. In game has been involved both the guys and girls that is not always possible. Cool, when there is unity between the sexes, the unity of the team. We just have some fun, laughed, and played for fun. At such moments we are all one and we have a common passion that unites us more! Thank God!

In March: Grozovo orphanage

Posted: March 27, 2012 by Dobr9k in Grozovo

Here, finally, came the spring – time of love, hope and new expectations! I want to tell you what was seeing and felt in March. During this month we had 4 meetings in Grozovo orphanage. I want to remind you that all our ut to meet us and try to delay us when we leave. They became as brothers and sisters or us during this time.
This month we could spent time our free time, discussed on different themes, watched films and hold different sport events. We try to tell to children that each of them can have life full of sense. As you know, our country has fourth place in the world on the list of countries for suicide. We want change this statistics not only in suicide but also in orphanhood imeetings are for teenagers for helping them to live in our society. A lot of children are don’t prepared for adult life when they finish being in the orphanage. We try to affect on then through our life and behavior. They lack good words, support and encouragement. We want to change it!
Dear reader, you can left words of love and encouragement for children from the orphanage on this website. Through this you can support these children. We promise to tell your words to them.
When we come children become happy and it is great to see their emotions. When I’m writing these words I remember how they run on the whole.
We believe that this statistics can be changed by taking children into families, so we often say about this fact.
Friends, we are grateful for everyone who reads about us, who supports us and who prays for us. Our team value it!! Because thanks to our together efforts we can influence on children’s lives!!

In February: Grozovo orphanage

Posted: February 27, 2012 by Dobr9k in Grozovo

February is a very cold season in our country. Children aren’t allowed to go anywhere this time. So when we were visiting them children were glad to see us. They were very happy, tell us about their problems and didn’t want to let us home. Every child has wanted to talk with us as much as it was possible.
We have discussion on different themes such as “Trustiness” and “Hostility”. For example, when we talked about trustiness we’d answered to different questions about what does trustiness mean, tell different stories about this feature of character.
On one of the meetings we had a talk with boys and girls in separate groups. During this conversation we’ve revealed different problems which concerned both sexes.
We also pray for children which talk with us about different problems in their life. One girl had asked us to pray for her because sometimes she has thoughts about suicide. Her friend had done it. But on our next meeting she came and said thank us for help. She was enjoying her life and she knew that we love her and help her. She could felt love which she was so lacked.
We are happy to see joy of children which are in such conditions. It is very good when God gives them hope!…

In January: Grozovo orphanage

Hello.
Dear friends, we have a great privilege to share with you what happens in our country and what happens in the hearts of children which don’t have parent’s care. Thanks God that He opens our eyes and ears so that we can see and hear and help to feel the needs of those people who needs. I’m grateful for people who read this letter because just with you we can change the future of the children in our country. We give them a hope that they don’t have.
I want to tell you about our visiting Grozovo orphanage. It was not long since the whole world was celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. We also have done a Christmas action for the children from this orphanage. With the help of our friends we’ve done a costume show which was called “Touching the sky”. We were able to show that God is not far from us that His influence on us is unchangeable. Guys have shown through this action that very often we are departed from God, replacing his everyday life, well then, in the bustle of people are deprived of peace and tranquility, become irritable! The group showed the relation of God to people, that God’s love covers all, and that God does not care what happens in human life. On this action came not only orphans, but also teachers and their families. It was a good opportunity for testimony, which we had used. A week before the performance, at the orphanage was a tragedy – one boy died. The tragedy has shocked everyone, but at the same time, each had the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of life … In the performance there was much talked about hope, about love of the Creator to man, as well as reconciliation with God. A lot of guys then asked questions for which it was evident that the information had concerned the children’s hearts. I thank God for what we could spend this evening with children, because thanks to this, we were able to answer many questions of concern to children, as well as talk about the birth of the Savior.
After the show we gave children a gift as a reminder that God is the initiator of the gifts on the Earth. It was the first time he made a gift to the people when he sent his Son into the world. Time has passed very quickly, people did not want go home and they had a lot of questions for which they wanted to get as many answers. Then we had said the guys that we’ll be able to answer their questions on Wednesdays because in this day of the week we visit Grozovo orphanage.
When we were driving home I thought about how great is to live when you do something for the eternal, knowing that it will give harvest at the right time.
I thank everyone who prayed or just experiencing a ministry to orphans in Belarus!

In December: Sport in Grozovo boarding school

Posted: January 21, 2012 by Dobr9k in Grozovo

In December, when many went away for the holidays, with children who stayed in a boarding school in the storm, we played volleyball. This game was chosen because it can play and the guys and girls. Usually we play football with the guys, but now we have decided to engage and girls. We got it. The first Wednesday we played just … forces were equal. Benefited in many ways: we, they. It was interesting to see how they get angry when they lose and scream at each other. This suggests that they sometimes can not work as a team, and those in authority are always right. His game, we showed how to behave when something goes wrong, support each other and fight until the last-minute, just fun to have fun and enjoy, even if it’s not as much as you want. Not everyone knew it … But for some it was a good example and a lesson! Them to have a greater incentive to play next Wednesday we bought a sweet prize – the cake … We were smaller and in a team, we have several people from their boarding school. The game was tense. In spite of our victory, we gave the children a cake. Those who played on our team was able to feel relaxed and friendly atmosphere … This is especially felt Christina. She obtained do not feed and she was angry at myself, thinking that it would be cursing and screaming, but instead we just encouraged her and she’s a little fun … was not even shocked … I like it when we do spend time with their children, they can see us better in the difficult and unusual situations, can see the relationship between us, the response to the problem. We went through the game down to their level, we fight, we want to win, we do not always get something, we’re just fooling around … And most importantly we are with them become more amicable … Sport – it’s also a good icebreaker.
