Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I spent my childhood in a large family. There were six of us in the family, four girls and four boys. We lived in poverty and were starving. After the third grade, I had to go to work. I worked as a shepherd after school. After the seventh grade, I graduated from a pedagogical school and became a teacher and head of an elementary school

Where did you work? Was your work good? Were you happy with your job?

At first I worked at an elementary school, then at a secondary school in Kyiv. I also taught art classes and organized art exhibitions. I have received state awards and honors for my work as a teacher. I helped to work with autistic children.

Tell about your present life.

Because of my poor health, I began to get closer to God, and this gives me more desire to live. I am now helping a sick and disabled student. I praise God for the ministers of the church.

Have you accepted Christ? How long have you been following the Lord?

Since childhood, I have inherited from my mother a love for the church, a love for God. I have always treated people and students in a special way, I could not offend anyone, on the contrary, I was always looking for an opportunity to help and support them. To help with their studies.

Tell about one thing your sponsor needs to know about you.

Sponsorship is God’s work. God gives strength and desire to support others. And in this way it fights against all kinds of aggression.
