The Problem

Project Life World Orphans Rehabilitation Program is a non-profit organization which hosts orphans of war and world disaster from different countries all over the world. The program is not an adoption agency, but more a a counseling and educational facility for children in war torn areas around the globe. The program is composed of a three month summer class schedule in Upstate NY. English classes and social activities are held on a daily basis, along with trips to Washington D.C. and other areas of the United States. The trip is intended to enrich the lives of those in need, and for them to return to their countries and bring that hope to others that reside there. The children which we have helped have become leaders in their communities and brought hope and happiness to those around them due to their experience with Project Life.

Plan of Action

During my initial work with Project Life I helped care for children in hosting situations and in English classes as an assistant. Since graduating from the State University of New York College at Brockport I have become an English Instructor and direct liason to the Russian Federation for the sake of my program. On a regular basis I keep contact with our Russian volunteers and work with embassies in the United States and Russia to get visa access for the children who attend our program. I have personally traveled to Russia five times for the sake of Project Life, each of which took me into the Northern Caucasus during times of violence and upheaval. I have personally escorted children from the United States back home to the Northern Caucasus, as well as organized media interviews and discussions with political figures of the republics of the Northern Caucasus. While in the United States I work on fundraising and program organization on a weekly basis. I have personally educated and cared for over one hundred orphans from around the world, and fully intend to continue doing so every year.
