1
The Russian and Eastern European Pediatric
Health Organization (TRAEEPHO).
  • Who are they , what do they do, and why?

2
Who is TRAEEPHO?
  • The Russian and Eastern European Pediatric Health
    Organization (TRAEEPHO), is a Non-Profit
    Organization that provides homeless and orphaned
    Russian and Eastern European Children with a
    broad range of health care. Its services include
    medical care, medications, vitamins, formula,
    diapers, and clothing. They are distributed to
    needy children, regardless of sex, religion or
    ethnicity.

3
Why was TRAEEPHO started?
  • While in nursing school at Villanova we were
    assigned a research paper on Pediatric health
    care.
  • It is then I learned about the overwhelming
    health care problem of Homeless and Orphaned
    Children in Russia and Eastern Europe.
  • From this information I felt compelled to do
    something and TRAEEPHO was started.

4
Who does TRAEEPHO Help?
  • TRAEEPHO First Started working with an
    organization called Loves Bridge in 2003.
  • In 2004 with The Friends of The Children of
    Chernobyl.

    Berezichi.
  • 2007 with Kharberds Center for Specialized
    Children (SCON) Republic of Armenia.

5
Who is Loves Bridge?
  • Loves Bridge was started by my good friends
    Jered Markoff and his sister Christina.
  • While visiting their Grandparents in Perm Russia
    they notice lots of children running around on
    the streets.
  • In Russia along there are over 3 million Homeless
    children that either live on the Streets, or in
    Orphanages. Some estimate there are more then 3
    million.

6
Who is Loves Bridge?
  • Who takes care of these children?
  • Unless they are in an Orphanages, No one takes
    care of them. They fend for themselves on the
    streets.

7
Who is Loves Bridge?
  • Loves Bridge is an organization dedicated to
    empowering street youth in Russia to overcome
    their addictions, resume studies and become
    self-reliant.

    with medications, vitamins, diapers, clothing,
    formula, and monetary means!!!
  • We are working on a program with getting them
    books and videos in English.

Who are The Friends of The Children of Chernobyl
(FOCC)?
  • On 26 April 1986 at 012340 a.m. reactor number
    four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant located
    in the Soviet Union near Pripyat in Ukraine
    exploded. Further explosions and the resulting
    fire sent a plume of highly radioactive fallout
    into the atmosphere and over an extensive
    geographical area. Nearly thirty to forty times
    more fallout was released than Hiroshima.

10
Who are the Friends of The Children of Chernobyl
(FOCC)?
  • The plume drifted over parts of the western
    Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Western Europe,
    Northern Europe, and eastern North America. Large
    areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly
    contaminated, resulting in the evacuation and
    resettlement of over 336,000 people. According to
    official post-Soviet data, about 60 of the
    radioactive fallout landed in Belarus.

11
Who are the Friends of The Children of Chernobyl
(FOCC)?
  • The fallout from Chernobyl will be at a haft life
    in 26,000 years from the date of April the 26,
    1986.
  • In total it will take Approximately 52,000 years
    before the land around Chernobyl is eradicated of
    radiation.

12
Who are The Friends of The Children of Chernobyl
(FOCC)?
  • After the explosion this is what was left of The
    Chernobyl Power Plant in Belarus / The Ukraine.

13
Who are The Friends of The Children of Chernobyl
(FOCC)?
  • Friends of Chernobyl's Children (UK) is a charity
    founded in 1995 that brings children, who are at
    risk, from Belarus to the United Kingdom for a
    month every year. The charity is named after the
    Chernobyl disaster of 1986. It is one of the
    oldest of the 20 Chernobyl-named charities
    registered with the Charity Commission.Each year
    over 1,000 children come over to Britain from
    orphanages or disadvantaged homes. They are also
    given a full year's supply of vitamins and
    medicine for them and, if money allows, other
    members of their family.

14
How does TRAEEPHO help The FOCC ?
  • Each year TRAEEPHO sponsors 2 children from
    Belarus / The Ukraine to go to the UK for
    treatment due to the effects of radiation from
    the fallout of Chernobyl.
  • This includes Cancer treatments, Dental care, and
    a verity of other services.
  • We also provide all new clothing.

15
Who are The Children of Berezichi?
  • The Prince A.D. Obolensky School for Special
    Children was established in 1964 on the grounds
    of the Berezichi Estate, the ancestral home of
    the Obolensky family since the 14th century.The
    school is presently home to 80 children, ages
    6-16. Most are wards of the Russian State and
    come from the local area. They are mentally
    handicapped, autistic, or have suffered emotional
    abuse stemming from domestic violence and other
    socio economic problems.

16
Who are The Children of Berezichi?
  • The school is the only safe and nurturing
    environment most of these children have ever
    known. Over 500 children have graduated from
    Berezichi and many have gone on to lead full and
    productive lives.

17
What does TRAEEPHO do for The Children of
Berezichi?
  • TRAEEPHO started a Vitamins program with The
    Obolensky School so the 80 to 100 children who
    live at the school can get the dietary
    supplements these young children need. Without
    our help many of these children would not get the
    Vitamins they need.

18
What is the Specialized Children's Home of
Kharverds (SCON)?
  • The Specialized Childrens Home of Kharverds is
    located in The Republic of Armenia.
  • It is home to 226 special needs children, most of
    whom have Autism and other handicaps.

19
What does TRAEEPHO do for the Specialized
Children's Home of Kharverds (SCON)?
  • TRAEEPHO works with other organization such as
    the Deveux School to help train the staff of the
    SCON in working with handicapped children.
  • Each year TRAEEPHO brings one staff member from
    the SCON to the U.S. for one week to get this
    vital training.

20
The Orphanage of St. Petersburg
  • A new member to the TRAEEPHO family.
  • The orphanage houses about 60 children who are
    all up for adoption.
  • The children range from the age of 12 months to
    17 years.
  • At present we are supporting them with vitamins
    and we hope to expand help for them in the up
    coming months.

21
So now you know what TRAEEPHO does.
  • So what is the take home message?
  • You young man and women living here in U.S.A., in
    the area we live in, are all very Privileged!!!
  • The children you heard about today and saw may
    never get the same Privileges as you!!!

22

  • Seemingly small helps can make a big difference
    in other peoples lives.

    even people we dont know.
