A group of about 120 orphans in an orphanage in Ivanovo, Russia live with little hope for their future, not enough love in their lives, and with many physical, educational and emotional needs that are left unmet. Studies show that about 40% of orphan boys will one day be in prison, about 40% of orphan girls will one day be in prostitution, and about 10% will one day take their own lives. These statistics can be changed and must be changed, one orphan at a time.
