Ksenia moves to Baranovo

Ksenia with Andrei from Group 2Since October 2012, ROOF volunteer Ksenia Shabalina has been living at the Baranovo House and working each day with the 11 youngest children at Belskoye-Ustye.

Having completed her education in Journalism, Ksenia suddenly felt herself called to work with children with special needs. However her abilities to describe, analyse, and report are absolutely key to her work with the children, as she is in active communication with other ROOF staff and volunteers about each child's needs and the specialist help he or she might require. This makes it possible for ROOF to chart a personal development plan with every child, and be in contact with others who want to help a specific child or the whole group.
