Education Lecture: Street Children
April 8, 2010
The Street Children of Odessa
Monday, April 19th, at 1:30 p.m.
Robert Gamble, D. Min., Director of This Child Here program will discuss the children moving from street life to life in homes in Odessa, Ukraine. Cornell Estates will host the program on Monday, April 19th, at 1:30 p.m. Of Ukraine’s nine million children, 65,000 live in state-run institutions, often separated from their siblings. Most of these children are abandoned by their parents due to poverty, unemployment, alcoholism, and drug use. They live under the streets and in the abandoned buildings and parks of Odessa.
This free lecture will be held at Cornell Estates Retirment & Assisted living.
