From 14 till 18th of November 2011 American doctor of Obstetrics and Gynecology visited us with a friendly visit. For many years he has been a practicing doctor and surgeon. He is married and has three children. All members of his family are mature Christians.
On the 18th of November Life Care Center initiated a meeting with our former clients of School for Moms whose children are from 4 to 6 years old. It was really nice to touch base with those who we did not see for a long time and talk again to those who keep staying in touch with the Center during those years through different activities offered by the LCC.

The volunteers of Izmail Life Care center conducting a class with the girls of local orphanage.
Children in Izmail boarding school for abandoned children stay there only before the end of the 9th grade, and then they should make the decisions independently in a life about which they know only by hearsay. For this reason on July, 12th, 2011 Izmail Life Care Center conducted interactive conversation on a theme of abortions, their reasons, consequences, and, that by the most important, their alternatives for the girls of 8-9th forms. The main question that had to be answered as a result of conversation was: "Human life: how valuable is it?" The answer was not demanded for everybody to hear, but everyone had to answer it for himself, and make a firm decision in advance.

In the local Izmail hospital, together with children who are sick and getting treatment the abandoned children stay too. While their official state is being determined they have to live somewhere and the children's floor of the hospital becomes their temporary home. No wonder many of them get sick and need medicine and also the children from the Izmail orphanages go through treatment there. The State handles financed for their treatment and usually it covers the basic needs. The cases are always different and some children have more severe illnesses than just a common cold or bronchitis and there is not enough money for that. The doctors try to solve such problems themselves.

Another group of women, nearing delivery, completed the course at the "School for Moms". Every group differs in its character and by its atmosphere and each group leaves special memories and evokes different emotions. The most recent group of young women that had their pictures taken on the last day of training had a distinctive spirit of creativity. Every woman has great potential that comes to fullness during pregnancy when she discovers unexpected talents for the rest of her life.
