It's been a long six months biding my time while much of the world is still shut down for the pandemic. It almost seems strange not going back to work this fall as the university has gone on line. Even though I haven't been able to do much or to go anywhere I was able to send Sergey in Kyrgyzstan another gift to use as he saw fit.
As we know kids always need new clothes and recently Sergey used this gift to buy some socks and slippers for the kids at Orlovka Orphanage. I'm so happy we live in this internet age where we can still help out even though we're not there in person. Although, being there is much better.
I'm still hoping to get to Ukraine at some point but I don't know when that will happen especially since it looks like the predicted second wave of the virus has started and there's been a large spike of cases in Ukraine. In the meantime, like the rest of the world, I continue to bide my time.
If you would like to help me to enable more gifts to help out during the pandemic or to help with my future trip to Ukraine you can give a gift on line by clicking the "donate now" button at the right side of the blog. You can also click the "ways to donate" tab at the top of the page for other giving options. Thank you so much.
