FINISH LINE

It has been very challenging for us in the beginning. We had met a lot opposition from the participants but after the fist module the situation had tremendously changed and participants had opportunity to learn and change their perspectives and point of
view about new ways and approaches in child welfare.
At the moment, all is left to do is print certificates for every participant of the training.

We are very eager to see in near future how these trained professionals will start to apply new skills and knowledge that they had received in their work settings. It really
inspires us every time to see transformation in thinking of a child welfare worker or a social worker. This where change begins ….

We are very excited to announce that the group of social workers from Sevastopol have successfully completed our training program “Case Worker Core” in Southern Ukraine!

Over 30 social and child welfare workers were able to go through all of the modules in a period of the last 5 months.

ADOPTION SUMMIT!

In November of 2010, ILDC participated at the conference "Ukraine without orphans" that was held by ILDC partner Alliance Ukraine Without Orphans in Kiev.  Since then a lot of efforts and work has been done in the area of promotion of national adoption among communities, churches and organizations that work in Ukraine. Last Friday on April 29th another remarkable event took place in Kiev.  ILDC  had a great opportunity to partner with Alliance Ukraine Without Orphans in organizing Adoption Summit.  60 people from all
over Ukraine arrived to Kiev to participate in the summit.  The purpose of this event was to unite the efforts in our work with orphan children in Ukraine through promoting idea of national adoption. As well, ILDC was able to bring to the summit  3 new volunteers who will work in churches in south of Ukraine promoting national adoption and will be motivating churches to join our vision “Ukraine Without Orphans” .
