Pokrovka

This orphanage is located in a remote town at the Far-Far-Far East of Russia. In fact it is so far that their needs are often overlooked or even ignored by the State agencies. And even the hand of the mighty West is not long enough to reach there yet. Please, help us change that!!! Let's give these children some hope and prove that we care!
