Alla from Ukraine Shares a Letter with OGT

This is a letter that was recently sent to Orphan Grain Train from Alla of Bible Orphan Ministry. OGT with the support of donors is actively involved in assisting nine orphanages in Ukraine with the Adopt-An-Orphanage program. There is a hope for adding more orphanages. OGT also sends regular containers of aid to Bible Orphan Ministry in addition to other recipients in Ukraine.
Dear Paul,
I hope you are doing well!
Beside visiting kids in orphanages, providing aid, we’re currently getting ready for summer camp. Please, keep us in prayers!
Here is an update on the electricity supply project in Korosten.
It has been spent 72251,48 uah($1680,2) from $2500. The remaining funds will be used to pay for the electricity connection.
During the war, all of us in Ukraine have come to truly appreciate the value of simple things… Electricity. Heat. The ability to live a normal life…
Due to constant power outages, Korosten facility faced serious difficulties. Korosten is shelled every day and every night!
And when the power go out —it’s not just an inconvenience. It’s children left in the dark. It’s a kitchen where it’s impossible to prepare hot meals. It’s lessons in the dark by candlelight and anxiety instead of a sense of security.
Thanks to the support of OGT, we were able to help with an inverter and a battery—items that absolutely essential in wartime!
Now the children will have electricity when it’s dark outside. The cooks will be able to prepare hot meals for the children. The kids will be able to do their homework during the short days not by candlelight, but in more comfortable conditions. And most importantly—at least a little more stability and peace of mind during these difficult times.
For the children, this means warmth, care, and the feeling that someone is looking out for them.
We sincerely thank Orphan Grain Train for providing these invaluable items!!! Projects like this require significant funding, and without your support, they simply would not be possible!
It is thanks to you that light has come to this children’s facility—both literally and in a much deeper sense of the word!
Thank you very much for caring about the children of Ukraine alongside us!!! May the Lord richly bless everyone who participated in this vital project!!! 🙏
May God richly bless you!

Alla
