Katia Cherevako is the director of Global Children’s Assistance, Belarus. 
Five years ago as Global Children’s Assistance’s vision was being born it
was in Katia’s heart to start a sponsorship program that would help families
to become functional and whole.  She had volunteered in children’s programs in orphanages for many years and saw the effects that a poor family situation can
lead to and saw this mentorship of families being able to change those lives into something worthwhile.

Katia is a working mother with 2 small girls; Sophia and Katirina. 
Her husband Kostia is a local businessman.

Tanya Onkuda is the newest member of our staff and she joined us in the
summer of 2007.  Before leaving her job that she had for 15 years as a
kindergarten teacher she was one of the volunteer mentors that would
visit the families each week.  She also started to host kids in her home on
a weekly basis to gather for practical learning skills. 

Tanya is married and has a 14 year old son. 

Irena is our accountant for Global Children’s Assistance.  This is a full time job
to keep all the paperwork and to have all activites to be completed in a legal
manner.  She has worked for Charitable Organizations in Belarus for many
years and we are pleased that she is part of our staff. 

Irena has a 15 year old daughter.

Natasha Karienka has volunteered in many different children’s programs
through the years.  She also has a degree in English language which is very
helpful in communication between the sponsors and their children.  Natasha
always has had a heart for children who are in need.

Natasha is a widow and has an 11 year old daughter.
