From Nadezha, a group leader in Moldova...


The most important need of every child is to know that he is sincerely and wholeheartedly loved, no matter what.

A child that is loved isn't afraid to dream or to have goals and reach them. He isn't afraid to make mistakes or lose, because there is someone who loves, support and helps him get back up. Every one of us needs to love and to be loved.

Because of this, for the last nine years, I have been a part of the lives of children in orphanages. My desire is to support them and show them that they are loved, first and foremost, by God, but also by many other people who want to help them.

I want to help them fulfill their emotional, physical and spiritual needs. And, I'm so happy to be a part of the organization, Allies in Youth Development.
