Restore a Child Redefines Centers of Influence as they Deliver Compelling Results
Bordering with Russia on the East, Kharkov is the biggest city in Ukraine with one million people. It is an old city with rich history and historic architecture. Eastern Orthodox is the dominant religion. All the four schools Restore a Child sponsors to build and remodel are centers of influence . We are reaching the parents in the communities by our students who are very eager to be accepted by our schools. We are delivering compelling results.
The basement of the Adventist church in Kharkiv was in shambles before Restore a Child went and remodeled it into a primary school.
Part of the school after remodeling... 9 classrooms with a cafeteria, modern kitchen and a big meeting room.
The school was closed for the summer, but open for community kids through VBS. The parents participated in teaching crafts, music and physical education. More parents want to bring their kids to school.
Thanks to Dr. E.G. Moses, retired professor and Pastor Alex Rozumny who is now the Conference Education Director for supervising our work. Each child received a Restore a Child bag with food, books and toys.
Lviv School
A city with a lively history, Lviv (also spelled L’viv and Lvov) in Ukraine’s west was founded in the 13th century and has changed flags many times in the years since, having been part of Poland, Austria-Hungary and the Soviet empire. The city’s well-preserved historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Two years ago Stephan bought the land for the church and built the school behind where we are standing. While Norma was there, he bought additional 20 acres land for green houses for sustainability.
Restore a Child is honored to partner with Stephan and the Conference to build this addition which will have a music hall, early childhood center, a gymnasium and a boarding quarter on the third floor for out-of-town students. This is a great Center of Influence and will be offering vocational training.
Part of the Carpathian Mountains where one of the camps were held. We visited three camp sites. The children were very happy. The Ukrainian people are very hospitable and generous.
Because it was summer vacation, students were in camp meeting in the mountains. We went to visit the students who were very happy to learn new crafts and the Word of God... as they told Norma.
Bucha/Kiev Region
