ThePromise

General information

During the summer of 2002, Sarah Settelen and Iona Sutherland worked as volunteers in an orphanage in Russia for two months. The children they cared for left an indelible mark on both of them. Each child is struggling to survive in a system that is overwhelmed by ever-increasing numbers. Some of them will make it through this jungle. A handful may even come out with a basic education. But for most, and particularly for those with special needs, the future is bleak. While they were there, Sarah and Iona silently promised these children that they would do whatever they could to improve their chances of a real future.
