Laptops for Ukrainian Children
You may recall that CPC helped fund the travel of 167 children from "Father's House Orphanage" in Ukraine safely to Germany. The kids need schooling and that will require 20 laptops. Consider donating to Fathers house by making a check out to CPC and putting Fathers house in the memo. Please drop off or mail check to CPC (222 W El Pintado Rd. Danville, Ca 94526).
THE STORY: When Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, Roman Kornijko from the Otchiy Dim (Father's House) orphanage in Kyiv, Ukraine faced a terrible choice: Uproot 167 children from their home and risk the dangers of the open road or remain in the capital and pray that the coming bombs would somehow spare them. After much thought, he chose the road. And so, around 10 p.m. on Feb. 24, the group prepared to flee. The coming days in route were harrowing, darting shelling’s and bombings. They left with a small backpack and big prayers. We are grateful to say that they are safely in Germany and adjusting to life displaced. For more details on this story email Gina Callahan.
