Greetings from the Gulf of Finland! The first week has finished and everyone is doing great!

Hi everyone! It’s Shannon! I am doing really well and cannot wait to go back to camp tomorrow (Monday), but am so glad I was able to get some rest these past few days back in the city.

It was hard to say goodbye to the kids, but it was so good to see that so many of them had such good families to go home to since Savannah and I rode home in the van with some of the kids. I can’t … Continue reading →

Every day we do crafts with the teens; take them for a walk on the beach and in the forest or … Continue reading →

After getting some much needed rest, they will have two days to do some Russian language training and sightseeing. Then they will be off to the Gulf of Finland to minister to the physically and mentally disabled youth. … Continue reading →
