Minsk Wheelchair Distribution

These are three of the fifteen wheel chair recepients at Berizino a small village in the Minsk Oblast. There was a small program: the young volunteers and Lena sang "Love at Home" and Max gave a short speech explaining where the chairs come from. Then Sergie explains how the wheel chairs work. A young girl dance and another man in a wheel chair sang a song. Refreshments of cookies, tea (which we can not accept) and water with gas (which we do not like the taste of) was served. Also had a chance to visit with more of the people who are helped at that particular territorial center for handicap children and adults. Everyone was so nice and so appreciative of the wheel chairs that were donated. There are some neat people in Belarus that put in a lot of time and effort to take care of those less fortunate. It's a blessing for Max and I to be a small part of such a great program.
