Anya's Twins

We've recently had the privilege of reconnecting with older graduates of the Pravdinska orphanage. Two of whom are Anya (2006) and her brother Andre (2007). The two live together in a village right outside of Sumy with their 2 older brothers and older sister; not to mention Anya's twin girls who are beautiful at 9 months. It is definitely a packed little house, but it is clear that these kids are working together to make it in this life.

Their dad died 7 years ago and the mom stopped being a part of their lives altogether and these beautiful kids were sent to Pravdinska. It's such a gift to have known them for over 5 years now and to still be a part of their lives. We were invited into their home, shared tea, and were given a tour of their village. We are excited to see where this reconnection takes us as we have watched so many graduate girls struggle with children and Anya faces the unique challenge of twins. We hope to be an emotional support as she finds her way in this life.
