Orphanage


We opened a project in the Vitebsk Region at an orphanage for 108 children. The older children were all at school but the younger ones were home playing in the snow. You should of seen Max, in his suit, pulling this little boy on his sleigh. The children were so cute, well-behaved, and so excited to see us. One little girl ran up to me and gave me a big hug--then they all wanted hugs, which I was more than happy to do. They loved it when Max took their picture and then showed it to them. I admired the care-givers that were trying to get all the children in their snow gear. Imagine putting coat, boots, hats, scraves, and caps on 30 four year olds;, with visitor from America distracting the children.
