We had the van loaded up and we were ready to go and it wasn't even nine o'clock yet. What a way to start the day!
We headed out to Ivano, picked up Maria and Deanna and headed out to an "internat" which is a children's home, which is about 40 minutes away from Ivano. This is the same one that Malcolm and Howard visited earlier during their stay in Ivano. We were warmly welcomed by the director and Gilles had a chance to speak to about twenty five children and several adults.
We left some sports equipment for the children, and left some clothing for several needy families in Ivano. Some boots which were donated from an individual in Canada were brought from Ivano to this orphanage also. There were several teachers who needed glasses and were very happy to receive them. Some people have a very strange idea when it comes to reading glasses. They get the pair that is the right strength for them, but want to exchange it for a weaker pair because they believe if they have the right strength it will make their eyes weaker and they will need stronger glasses.
Avrell is coming back tonight from a week in Lutsk.
