The First Step

July 22, 2013, 18:00 2075 Author: Albert Pavlov, translated by Daria Sukach www.deti.zp.ua A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We are starting to build the first home ever for children with special needs in our children’s eco village. Let’s make this step together!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You can never reach your dreams if you do not make this first step.

Today we want to make the first step in creating the first children’s home in our eco village.

Our mission is noble – to drag orphans out of the orphanage walls and give them an opportunity to live in their own home with their loving parents. We want to present a loving mom and dad to the children who usually have had little chance to ever be adopted. These are teenagers with special needs (cerebral palsy and various other disabilities).

The first step includes completing the project documents, laying the foundations and the erecting the walls of the future house.

This is the way our first house will look like:

We have already completed the house design and its 3D project taking into account the needs of children with disabilities. We have already purchased the land for the house. We are ready to give it a start with your kind support! This lovely home is going to present many orphans with special needs the warmth and love of the family!

We do not just dream. We have experience of creating the first Happy Home in Kalinovka (Chernigov Child’s Home). We are close to completing the construction of the second Happy Home. We are determined to complete all of our projects. We feel obliged to report about each donation.

We really need your support! Believe in our dream and help us make this first step, please!

Feel free to ask us any questions – just write to us!
