Ministry in Ukraine
We will be working with Tara Belt, Esther Snyder Harsh, and Rachel Gilmore, three Malone alumnae who live in Ukraine and work with Orphan’s Hope to mentor youth who face gangs, drugs and life on the street.
Orphan’s Hope is a non-profit ministry dedicated to the compelling needs of Orphans in poverty and transforming their lives. While they provide relief for urgent needs, Orphan’s Hope is committed to bringing lasting solutions that care for
the children’s physical, educational, and spiritual needs, in a way that gives them hope and a future. They are currently focused on helping orphans in Asia and Eastern Europe.
Sites we’ll visit:
- Vorontsov Palace in Yalta
- Russian Orthodox Churches
- Khan’s Castle in Bakchisarai
- Different types of schools (Public, Boarding and Technical)
- A hospital
- A baby house
