The Promise
In the summer of 2002, Sarah (Ellie's Mum) and her friend, Iona, worked as volunteers
in an orphanage in Sushki in Russia for two months. The children they cared
for left an indelible mark on both of them. Each child struggling to survive
in a system that is overwhelmed by ever-increasing numbers. Some of them will
make it through this jungle. A handful may even come out with a basic education.
But for most, and particularly for those with special needs, the future is bleak.
