In a partnership with New Horizons for Children, SAC is promoting their program to bring orphans from republics of the former Soviet Union to the USA twice a year to be hosted in the homes of Christian families.
Many of these children have never had a positive family experience. They get a first hand glimpse of what healthy relationships can be! Some of these children have never experienced love in a healthy manner or been able to show affection. They learn about hygiene, American culture, and they're immersed in the English language! Their lives can be impacted greatly by their time in the USA living as part of your family for 4-6 weeks.
Orphans usually feel left out, left behind and unworthy. Their self-esteem is often low because peers and the government have stigmatized them as "orphans". After participating in the hosting program most children learn as much English as they would typically learn in 4-5 semesters if taught at home in their school. This gives the children pride in and helps boost their self-esteem tremendously!
Receiving unconditional love and nurturing and being treated as a member of their host family gives them hope. Learning that they do have a Father, the same Father in heaven that we all have who loves us dearly and is always with us, lets them know they are never alone.
