In
April we had opportunity to hold two additional events in the Belynichi orphanage. It was great joy for us and for children from orphanage. In addition to our regular fellowships, one of the meetings, we have dedicated the theme: “Easter.” We told children the history of this holiday and also about the main goal of Jesus coming in our world. It was great that we could hold this meeting because a lot
of children didn’t know about the gist of the holiday. Some of them thought that Easter is a Jesus birth; some said that it is a holiday of cak
es and painted eggs!! We tried to tell to children as much as possible about the greatest sacrifice in the men’s history.
Besides we hold two meetings “Offense” and “Competition”. In other orphanages we had hold such meetings. But children from this orphanage need we touch them to respect elders, to protect the younger and be friendly towards people. It is for these children, especially hard to trust someone and be a friend to someone. It is because they were left by their children in their childhood, they lack of love, attention and care. Besides children from this orphanage have physical and mental developmental disorders. So one of our main goals – is to he
lp socialize orphans in our society.
In April we had good opportunity to visit in Belynichi church. We we
re glad to know that nearly 14 orphans visit Sunday’s services. In the church, they get a bit of love, attention and care and also they can visit Sunday school where they can hear about God, communicate with other children not only from their orphanage but they find friends among children having parents. In my opinion, it also contributes to the development of orphans, as well as making them more open and communicative. Moreover they have ability to play games, to sing songs and have a good time…
In March our team, as always, on Tuesdays went to boarding school in Rudensk. On the children’s request they were given the topics “Нostility” and “Rivalry”. 
On the 20th of March a sporting event was held, also on the request of the children who wanted to even the score after the previous event.
Topics have been particularly relevant for some guys. In a confined space of the boarding school there’s often a problem of rivalry. The older and stronger teenagers set their power over the younger ones, hurt and bully them. In response, the younger children often grow closed or vice versa, aggressive. They develop a heightened sense of self-preservation. 
Therefore, we try to show the children that the relationships can be built in a different way. Friendship, mutual assistance, and readiness to help (from both sides) must be the basis of the communication.
The purpose of our team is to show the children that they are loved, and may be needed by someone, first of all, by God! And, of course, by us! We hope that the Lord will grow the dropped seed, and it will sprout into the souls of the children!
We see some positive changes in the behavior of many children, and in their communion with others. It’s nice when the kids come up and say that ceased to argue with a teacher, someone made it up with a friend, someone began to pray before going to bed, someone reads the Bible, someone really wants to go to church.
It’s especially striking to hear the child’s words: “I pray for you!” It’s wonderful to see how the Lord disposes the children to communication, opens their hearts to the perception of His Word!
This month we were able to visit Belinichy boarding school only two times. Unfortunately, we have no financial opportunity to visit the children of this orphanage more often – this hostel is located 150 kilometers (95 miles) from Minsk. But we hope that God is able to solve this problem! Due to the smaller number of meetings we discuss in Belinichy boarding school themes which were discussed in other boarding schools a month ago.
The first meeting was devoted to the theme “Hostility”. This issue is one of the most relevant for children of any boarding school, because they often lack love and friendship. We often see how older teenage
rs hurt younger ones, we see how difficult it is for them to be obedient and how difficult it is to avoid conflicts. On the one hand, nobody knows in what way would he act being in such circumstances, but on the other hand, our aim is to show the children that life in love and peace is real! We explain that hostility is the result of wrong priorities in life.
To the second meeting we’ve invited a puppet show again. The dolls told the children how important it is to forgive each other and how God himself has forgiven all of us and made a great gift for all people – he sent his Son to the Earth to save u
s. We hope that despite the small number of our meetings something good will remain in the hearts of these children, and we do hope that their lives will change for the better!
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!!
LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN
