Annual Trustees Report For the Year Ended 31st March 2021
This year 2020/2021 was a tough year but still a very fruitful year again with a little local travel, but with no overseas travel due to the Covid-19 restrictions. The fruitfulness resulted as a result of local people who were trained and equipped by us in the past, stepping forward to do the mercy missions to the poor, the elderly, and needy communities in the UK and Ukraine.
freed up funds and resources to be sent to people and projects of need through the year.
Ukraine is in lockdown as a result of the spread of COVID-19 around the world. In the Odessa region of Ukraine, 552 children who were accommodated in orphanage boarding schools that we support with basic medicines take care of themselves. The local teams we have trained, got into action trying to find these orphans and are working together with Child Protection Services to seek to meet the needs of these children as best possible with survival packs of basic food, hygienic toiletries and medicines, and temporary accommodation. We found out that hundreds more children were in this dire situation and have been reaching out to help them.
Money for medicines, blankets, shoes and warm clothing were again provided by compassionate donors and sent to trained workers, where children were helped with provisions and resources to help them to survive the winter, with adequate heating and medicines. Many orphanages in Ukraine have been struggling in the icy cold winter months, and once again many children with low immune systems, were sick.
months. A number of children, who have phenylketonuria (PKU) have needed supplements and food, free of
Education, reading and study materials were again still a great need to supply this year, even more so since the orphanage boarding schools we are involved with, were closed. In years past while conducting mercy missions to the country areas in the Odessa Province and communities in the country towns near the Chernobyl Region, we trained local teams on how to conduct mercy missions, while we provided them with the funds to acquire the necessary provisions. In this COVID crisis period, these local trustworthy teams, whose leaders are known to us personally, have proved themselves indispensable and reliable. Having audit many projects myself , I do checks on them continuously and have not found fault with their dealings.
the Odessa Province and providing for the orphans and homeless children there. This facility is watched over by have been brought in over the COVID period, and over the last year an urgent need arose to increase the size of the House of Hope to be five times bigger in capacity. This was approved by the local Odessa Council and with donations that concerned and compassionate people have given, we have been able to provide for the building and furnishing costs to eventually house and care for over 150 children and teenagers.
undertook to meet the needs of feeding schemes and winter heating for the House of Hope and remote orphanages. In Ukraine the orphans needed a lot of help with personal needs once again with the provision of medicines, toiletries, clothes, blankets and school materials. There is an orphanage of brain-damaged babies pampers, catheters and vital supplements and vitamins to boost their immune systems.
Family Needs in UK and Eastern Europe
The seminars we conducted in the early part of 2020 were again appreciated by the poor and isolated who were struggling with relationship and family issues. We were able to help families in the UK and Eastern Europe with problems in home relationships, marriage breakdowns and needy teenagers and children. Seminars were very popular once again to equip and train counsellors to help others in times of crisis. Some of these seminars have been translated into other languages.
This year was a season of great challenge as well as encouragement to us to be able to help many needy families and orphans.
