Connected with Sabine

When she appeared in the newly opened social home in the summer of 2018, she asked the most questions. Everything was interesting, in every detail, because the constant feeling of insecurity and anxiety typical for a child who had lived in an orphanage was haunting her. Then she calmed down, relaxed and realized that… she is at home. Her parents had left her, her younger brother and sister in the orphanage since 2014. The relationship with the father was partially preserved, but the mother had disappeared from the children’s lives forever.In 2018, Mane moved to “Sabine” NGO with her sister and brother and still lives there. “I am so grateful to fate that during the most difficult  period of my life, when my parents were not with me, I lived in Sabine, which replaced my family and became my home. Now I have only one wish: to stay here until adulthood,” she admitted on one occasion.Two years ago, in 2020, contact was restored with the children’s mother through the efforts of the project team. The younger sister and brother, per their wish, were excluded from the program and started living with their mother and her second family. Mane did not go with them. And… on a cold autumn day, when the little sister who had been waiting and dreaming for a whole childhood, hugged her boots to muffle the footsteps of the fugitive and ran away from the border village under enemy fire,  from her mother, Mane realized that she had done the right thing. Now a 17-year-old Mane lives in “Sabine” social house. Her 5 years of living in SGH and using the program’s services will  end with her adulthood. Meanwhile, Mane   finished school and continued his education in medical college, where she acquires her favorite profession. Thanks to the professional skill courses organized in the social house, she has mastered the art of make-up, the secrets of sewing and many other skills that will help her in her independent life. Mane believes in her abilities, she is confident, optimistic and has a secret dream: to form her family and pass on to her children the love and affection she had received during the past five years. “I no longer complain about the fate that has befallen me and I am sure that God loves me very much because He connected my life with Sabine.”
