We are currently starting to plan our tennis tournament fundraiser, "Strokes Against Hopelessness 2009."
We are tentatively planning to hold the tournament in June.
This tennis tournament will be held in Kyiv, Ukraine. If you are interested in sponsoring or playing in the event, please email us at mmkukraine@yahoo.com. We will keep you updated with information as the plans unfold!
his week Kyiv Post featured an article on the current status of Ukraine's lack of development in the area of children/human rights.
I know a lot of gritty details about the underworld of child exploitation in Ukraine but I was stunned to hear that one out of every three prostitutes in Ukraine is a child between the ages of 12 and 17 years.
It's stories like these that make me want to see an active network of Christian organizations and ministries in Ukraine come together to develop a plan to help promote and educate the government and community on subjects like this and help people understand that it is an adult's place in this world to protect children and not exploit them.
Kyiv Post features photos of Ukrainian children by photographer Simon Crofts. The gallery of photos features children in families, in orphanages and HIV children. The are very heartfelt and beautiful. If you want to see them, CLICK HERE.
