For the last two days we have played with children! Each morning we run, swing, hug, laugh, smile, pull and love a group of orphaned children. These little ones will spend 18 years in an orphanage because mommy and daddy did not want them. Abandoned in the hospital, at a dumpster, or just brought to the orphanage and left in the hands of the government. Their little faces, full of smiles and laughter, do not show the pain of abandonment and pain. Not yet, at least…
Hi from Russia, After a great reunion in Frankfurt, we had a safe and quick flight to Saint Petersburg—where the sun never sets, literally. We are having a simply splendid time learning more of the language and brief history of this beautiful city and the country. After our morning study sessions, we have invaded the city in full force!
Our 6th team for the summer has arrived safely! Each one of the 8 students is very excited to be finally in St Petersburg, Russia, after 8 months of planning and waiting for this day! 🙂 They are resting at their apartment and will start the 3 day training tomorrow morning!
