Time is Going Fast



Well the time is ticking down fast before I’m on the move again.  In just over 2 weeks (February 26th) I’ll be landing in Halifax after being away for 14 months.  It seems like a long but yet so short of a time.  I’m still making my plans and still hoping that while I’m in Hammonds Plains during March that the transportation issue will work out.  Also, if you are interested in me coming to visit your church, community group, or house full of friends I’d be happy to come and share my experiences of “life on the road.”  Just let me know and we can arrange it.

This past week has been a busy one for me.  Anya and I went to the kids rehab centre to spend some time with the younger group between classes.  We did a craft and played a game with them and of course I had my candy bag with me. There is a whole new batch of 40 kids there now.  Some of them arrived empty handed so I was able to buy some school supplies for them as well. 

I also tagged along with Anya to Sunshine Orphanage this week to help her with the birthday party for those with birthdays in January and February sponsored by Loads of Love.  Afterwards it struck me with a bit of sadness that this is the last birthday party I will have helped at in Sunshine Orphanage.  Before I come back to Krivoy Rog in June the Orphanage will have been closed down and will be converted into some kind of physiotherapy/rehab centre.  Many of the kids have already been transferred to other orphanages or have been adopted over this past year, 10 are graduating out of the orphanage this spring and then the remaining will be transferred.  So it’ll be the end of an era there.  I will sure miss that but I hope to visit the kids wherever they are transferred to.  Perhaps I will be able to visit there in a different capacity as well.

I was also able to get to Boorie Ooglie again this week with my candy bag to say hello to the folks there.  The room where they normally lock in the “runners” is under renovation and the men were crammed into what is basically a fenced off stairwell.  I wasn’t impressed with that, of how dirty, smelly and cramped it is.  I hope the renovations are done quickly.

So that’s my news for this week.  If you would like to help with my support or to help me to sponsor some activities and projects please click the LinK 127 donations link at the right side of the blog to donate on line.  You can also mail a donation to the address below.  Please remember to specify that your donation is for me.  You can also arrange a monthly sponsorship.  Canadian donations are tax deductible and every dollar counts towards showing love to those that need to see love in action. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and support and thank you for seeing my heart.  Till next time… Я люблю тебя!

I was finally able to find a craft that involves just paper and glue. 

The squiggles represent flying birds.
 
It was hard to get a group shot of the kids with their craft.  We were all getting pretty silly at that point.  (I promise the glue didn't have any fumes.)
This is the blind object game where you pick put an object from the bag while blindfolded and wearing gloves, then trying to guess what it is.
