The young lady in the picture is Vika. She is 9 years old and is from Ukrania. She is an orphan. Her mother died several years ago and her father's rights have been terminated. She has 4 other sisters. Beautiful Vika lives in an ophanage in Ukrania with two other sisters. The other 2 sisters are in college somewhere in the Ukrania.
Greg and I are hosting Vika for 4 weeks, 2 weeks in December and 2 weeks in January. She will be joining our family for Christmas. This is has been on my bucket list for sometime. This year my wish has come true. Vika will come to America and will enjoy the United States for 4 beautiful weeks. We have promised we will return her to her country of Ukrania. I am sure it will be extremely hard. We only have a few more steps and all the paper work will be completed. What a beautiful Christmas present my husband has given our family.
She does speak some English but mainly speaks Russian.
If anyone else is interested in sponsoring one of the many children in the orphanage for 4 weeks for the Winter Visit we would be happy to discuss all the ins and outs of this LOVELY program.
Greg and I are so happy that we can make such a gift to a child like Vika.
