Chaperone Hosting

The summer hosting season is about to start and we're expecting around 200 children to arrive in the United States.  In order to do this, P143 relies on chaperones to escort the children here and then be available for translation and any other issues that may arise while they're here.  The chaperones are adult volunteers with some experience in the orphanage.  Some are orphanage directors, others are full time employees and others just volunteer in the orphanage.

While they're here, we need families to volunteer to host them.  There is no cost for this, we just ask you provide a place for them to sleep (even a couch can work) and treat them like a visiting relative.  They don't need to be catered to, but we do want to make their time here as enjoyable as possible.  It's a wonderful opportunity for you to experience a bit of a different culture, and help these children find homes.

If you're interested in hosting a chaperone, we ask families to commit to a minimum of one week, and are looking for hosts from June 12th - August 6th.

Children Still Need Families for Summer!


Where are the swimming families with a heart for orphans and/or Ukraine? U622 MAK is only 12 yrs old who told us he loves to swim and would love to try competing in a swimming contest this summer! We still have a space reserved for him on the plane to arrive June 15th, but we are clearly running out of time since he is still UNCHOSEN and will be forced to cancel his reservation soon.


PLEASE help us SHARE with any swimming families who might consider hosting a child from Ukraine this summer with Project 143! http://www.projectonefortythree.org/pre-registration
There are many other children as well. Please preregister on the site to take a look at all the waiting children!
