Project Description
The Ryazan Girls Home was established in 2002 by Patrick Day as a post graduate program for the girls of the Supozhoke Orphanage. There are over 150 children residing in the Supozhoke orphanage at any given time. Because of its remote location the orphanage gets almost no financial support from the government. The building itself has not received any government funded repairs in over 40 years but the staff has been repairing the bulding themselves for the past 1.5 years. There have not been any adoptions from the orphanage in over 25 years! Currently there are 5 girls living in an apartment that is being supported by this project. The apartment is being rented and has been completely furnished by the project. The daughter of the local project coordinator, Alina, lives with the girls and acts as their Counselor. Since coming to live at the home all four girls have changed dramtically! They are all in school. They all smile and are happy now that they have something to live for and have people that care about them.
The main focus of the project is to fund the $925 needed monthly for rent, food, utilities and other needs at the home. This will allow for further expansion of the program.

Project History
In 2005, the Sierra Bible Church of Sonora, CA installed a playground, remodeled a recreation room, and purchased a new computer at the Supozhoke orphanage. The regional director of the all the orphanages in the Ryazan Region where Supozhoke is located was so impressed that he encouraged the church to work at all of the 18 orphanages located in the region. He has offered his assistance to the group if ever needed to circumvent any legal issues that may arise in country.
