Good Samaritan Children's Home
The Good Samaritan Children's Home is an orphanage in Velika Dobrony, Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine. Established in 1995, the orphanage serves girls ages 2 through 12 and is operated by the Reformed Church of Transcarpathia.
==History==
In the mid 1980s the Dutch relief organisation Stichting Hulp Oost-Europa delivered a large amount of humanitarian relief to many Ukrainian state orphanages. This, however, failed to reach the children. Having satisfied themselves that this was the case and in view of the dreadful state of affairs prevailing at that time in Ukrainian state orphanages; the lack of basic hygiene, indifference towards the children, the physically and mentally retarded condition of the children, the poor condition of the buildings and the impracticality of improvement, they decided to set up a Christian children's home which could serve as a model for the whole of Ukraine. At the time of the break-up of the Soviet Union, Stichting Hulp Oost-Europa together with the Weeshuis der Hervormden (Lindenhof) and the Partnerhilfe foundations started to organise this, and by March 1995 after two years of construction the brand new, two-cone basic building (more than 130x130 feet) in Nagydobrony, near Uzhhorod in Ukraine was ready for occupation. On December 1, 1995 the children's home was handed over with all due ceremony to the district of the Reformed Church of Transcarpathia to which it officially belongs.
From its inception the establishment made every endeavour after self-sufficiency by setting up its own farm. Supporting funds were sufficient from the very beginning for a wide variety of things, so much so that whatever new building was needed it could be built from the surplus. In the course of time, however, due to continually rising prices and cost of wages coupled with stagnation of supporting funds, not only was the work unable to be finished but now the yearly support funds do not even cover the minimum annual wage of the children's carers alone. In reality, the majority of the workers are on a partly voluntary basis. Compensation for the below-average wages is by allowances in kind and other concessions e.g. holiday leave. Electricity and gas is purchased at industrial prices, and for that reason it has not been possible so far to implement gas heating - it is too expensive. The Ukrainian state has provided no material assistance, apart from an up-to-date computer in February 2007 from the district council. As one of the models for the country, the children's home is visited every year by government ministers, various regional medical officers and some church bishops too.
