Project Compassion Update


One room had three children. There was a three year old boy and his one year old sister. The two have been removed from their parents. We weren’t given any details but the little girl jerked away whenever one of us touched her.

The third girl appeared to be about three years old as well. There isn’t any way to know for sure because she was abandoned in the local train station. The authorities are trying to identify her parents.

In Ukraine, each hospital patient is responsible for providing his or her own food. There is no kitchen. The nurses in this ward are given a budget of $0.20 per day per child for food. The children eat cereal two or three times a day unless something more substantial is donated.

In May of 2002, Hussein Amanov began visiting the abandoned baby ward in the Lugovskaya hospital in Simferopol, Ukraine.

Hussein is a converted Muslim who was working with Project Sasha.  He is now a daily visitor, making sure the babies in the ward have the basic necessities like food, diapers and medicine. He even cleans the rooms and makes some repairs. He is such a regular that the nurses in the hospital refer to him as “the doctor in tennis shoes.

In June, 2008, a second Project Compassion ministry was added in the coastal city of Sevastopol. The abandoned baby ward has been operating on a budget of $0.20 per child per day for food. Windows in the rooms have such huge leaks that the staff will use pillows to block drafts. Olya has been added to the Mulberry staff and will become the Hussein of Sevastopol.
