This is Roman, on the left, and my son, Matthew, on the right. Roman is 16 and leaving the orphanage in September; he is going to the city of Polessk to learn to be an auto mechanic. He's a good artist, also good at sports, very thoughtful. He's fun to talk to because he doesn't give up--he figures out different ways to express himself, and is also very patient in trying to understand us. He's one of the four students we've chosen to help with his schooling.
