Hello friends and family! This week we started our work at the Tuberculosis Hospital and we have already fallen in love with every child there. We have been telling bible stories, playing games, and doing crafts.

Today we went on a boat ride with them and they were all so excited and mesmerized at the water and the boat. They loved it so much and it was so much fun experiencing … Continue reading →

With only a few days left of camp, it is with joy and sadness that the team and interns are getting ready to say goodbye. It has been such joy to get to know the teens who are physically or mentally disabled. For them, life is bleak without any future. In the Russia, if you are disabled then there is no hope for you. You are an outcast in society. Locked up in an orphanage or in your own small apartment. If wheelchair bound, you cannot go anywhere since there are no ramps and elevators do not always work.
