This past
Monday (August 24th) the kids at Orlovka Orphanage in Kyrgystan were treated to
a special day at the beach. For kids in
an orphanage going anywhere outside of the orphanage for an outing is a big
deal. The beach is located at Lake Issyk'ul which is the world's 2nd largest saltwater lake. The beaches there are some
of the finest in the world.
The kids
had a great time. I'll let the photos
speak for themselves. Thank you to my
friend Sergey and everyone else who helped to make this day happen. Again, thank you to those who gave to make
this and the Ukraine outing possible. It has created memories for life for these
children who have so little opportunities.
If you
would like to help me to sponsor future projects and outings for those who have
so little and to make some more memories, please click the donation button at
the right side of the blog to donate on line.
For other giving options please click the "ways to donate" tab
at the top of this page. Every dollar
counts and as you see in the photos it is appreciated by many.
Thank you
for seeing my heart. Till next time...я
люблю вас!!

On the right is Daniel standing by his sister Katrina. They have had a rough go at life. Those of you who have one of my bookmarks will see the photo of him on my shoulders. He is also the one in the story about me on the roof for those who heard it. Sergey has been working at Orlovka Orphanage for years and here's what he said: "I
often visit this orphanage, and many times I try do everything to see Daniel's
smile and I can't. But just in the Issyk-Kul, only the first time I saw his beautiful smile."
For those of you who gave...you made this happen. Bless you!!
