Link To Russian Street Children Video
The Gaws are a missionary family from Colorado who are currently living in Ukraine. They have a great blog called appropriately enough, "The Gaws." I enjoy reading it regularly.
They just posted a video which features street children. Even though these are street children in Russia, this is very much what those of us who work with street children deal with here in Ukraine.
The video is heartbreaking but it's important to share so that we can be moved to help these children.
To see the post and video, click HERE.

Ukraine's Drinking Problem
The Kyiv Post features an interesting article on the problem of children and teenagers drinking alcohol in Ukraine.
For those of us who live here, we know that children, and I'm talking children, not teenagers, drink alcohol. It can be sold to them at kiosks located on every street.
It is also very common to see teenagers at lunch time on the streets purchasing beer and drinking it before they return back to their classes.
The European School Survey for Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs found that Ukraine has the highest rate of under age drinking among the nations it surveyed.
A 2008 World Health Organization study found that 40% of Ukrainian children drink alcohol regularly.
