Let's meet Sasha, a modest, shy, and calm girl, born in 2004. Her teachers appreciate her very much because, although young, she is a real helper. Sasha likes to help adults and to take care of babies and fed them. She even gets up herself at night to calm crying babies. She loves children very much and tries to help them in every possible way. She feels especially sorry for sick babies. That's how she is: a helper having great compassion and mercy.

One may learn from her teacher that Sasha is an obedient, tidy girl: sometimes reticent, at other times talkative. Sasha likes to draw, sing, and visit a vocal coterie who also play simple musical instruments.

Sasha is developing as a sociable, open-hearted, cheerful girl who has friends and favorite teachers. She really needs family warmth and care and she dreams of returning home… But, how one can tell a child that she no longer has a home?

She has developmental delays associated with childhood neglect. Sasha is 14 and it is time to think about choosing a profession. So it would be really great to find those people who could take responsibility for the fate of this young lady to help her enter an adult life confidently and calmly.

Through care, patience, and everyday painstaking work, loving people can guide Sasha to become a full member of our society in future.
