This cheerful and sociable teenager with such a beautiful and rare name has surprised us by his plans for the future. Demyan is sure that one day he will definitely become a constructor and will build a big and bright house for him and his friends. His big dream is reflected even in his drawings where he often depicts such structural elements as a bucket and trowel. The boy considers himself a patriot and proudly showed us his drawing of snowball berries which is symbolic to Ukrainian culture.

Demyan has some speech difficulties which do not pose any obstacle to feel on the same wave with him in a few moments. During our communication with this lively guy he couldn’t help demonstrating his outstanding sport skills.

One can obviously see what great joy Demyan feels at such moments when someone pays attention to him, cares about his life and communicates with him…The boy likes to jump to the music and present his smiles to everyone around. Demyan is becoming older but it does not at all mean that his childish soul does not long for gentle mother’s arms and strong father’s shoulder. We really hope that Demyan will soon meet his parents who will not just give him home but warmth of their loving hearts!

Other children who dream of finding a family

If for some reason you are currently not able to adopt (for example, you are a student and do not have a family of your own yet) you are still able to help children at a boarding school (an orphanage) with your financial support. Ways you can help include: planning and participating in excursions and trips for children; visiting a child in an orphanage; or helping purchase developmental toys, books, construction sets, and sports equipment.
