Cares for Kids visits orphanage in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan.

Cares for Kids collected several refrigerator size boxes full of clothing, medication, toys, etc. for an orphanage we were about to visit in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan. While we were there, we also purchased a new refrigerator/freezer for the orphanage facility. The founder of Cares for Kids, Phyllis Ballantini, and her husband Terry, adopted a baby boy from the orphanage while they were there named Elia.
