Above Photo: This is the orphanage in Yaremche, Ukraine. Some of the children ran upstairs to wave to us goodbye as we were leaving from a visit with the Dalraida Church team in October. This is one of the orphanages that Jerry Max Morgan has started a vocational training so the children will have a practical life-skill when they are forced to leave.

A note on Jerry’s work to help train orphans…For many years we have been helping orphanages with food, clothing, shoes, linens and other commodities the children need. A sad reality is that many of these orphaned children are forced out of the orphanage when they turn 18 years old. They are simply dismissed. They have not been prepared to integrate into everyday life. Consequently, they are easily recruited into criminal activities—the girls go into prostitution and are sold throughout the world in the despicable human trafficking system-the life expectancy is 18 months; the boys are recruited by criminally organized cells and are used by the mob bosses for jobs that result in their soon deaths.
Jerry Max Morgan evaluated the situation and found that these children had no working skills. He has been talking with orphanages and they also see this need but there was no help available. They are eager to assist. Through this effort we will be able to give the children life-skills as well as spiritual anchors. This will prepare them for citizenship and participation in the Lord’s Church!
Take a look at the above photo and realize that 8 out of 10 of these children will be dead soon after their 18th birthday because they had no alternative. Jerry has 3 orphanages that are being offered an opportunity!
