Anya is 11 (photo, right). Her father died, and her mother’s chief concern is drinking. She was debarred the right of parenthood. In the past, Anya was taken to orphanage and then returned back to her mother. It happened twice, but her mother showed to sign of changing, and in the result Anya found herself in the boarding school. She is encircled with care and love there, and we hope that through Christian books she will know about God’s love.
