Starry Rosedil (Oct 17)

Starry Rosedil - meaning old chapter
Here in what was an old monestary there are approximately 75 developmentally challenged boys, ranging from 6 to 18.  It is one of the saddest places to visit I think.  We brought some soaps, laundry soap, a bit of clothing, diapers and candy.  We needed to see the repairs that have been done on part of their roof. They've changed part of the roof with funds donated to help in Ukraine.  The director got local people to do the work for a fraction of the cost of getting it done by a contractor.
Here are a few pictures of the people who live there.  Some of the younger ones were in bed, drinking their formula out of recycled bottles!  I couldn't get myself to take a picture.





Plans now are underway for the Lviv annual  Christian conference.  We know of ppl coming from Moldova, Canada, Ireland, Lutsk & Ivano Frankivsk and well as the US.  Should be an enjoyable time on the last weekend of our time here.
