What Exactly Does Interlink Do? - Kids Connection

Posted By Bethany Planton, Kids Connection Administrator

Kids Connection is the child sponsorship program of Interlink Resources. It seeks to improve the overall welfare of the orphans and often forgotten children of Kazakhstan. Each child is sponsored by someone in the states. They send a quarterly payment that goes to benefit the whole orphanage that the child is at. We have been able to celebrate each child's birthday. At Ulan orphanage, we were able to purchase a new sound system for the orphanage. For Savva orphanage, we were able to repair their heating system. At Saramoldaeva orphanage, we have been able to purchase computers for each of our groups. At Vanofka orphanage, we helped provide supplies for a work crew that came from the states to turn their second floor into bedrooms for two new children. At Rakhym orphanage, we completely remolded the kitchen. All of these things are possible because of the sponsors. Currently we have all the children at Savva orphanage sponsored, but are looking for about 80 more sponsors for children at Ulan orphanage.
