Our end of the day meeting was at 10:15. I talked with the US team at 9 and they headed to bed. I thought someone should get some sleep. I met with the Ukrainians to discuss day 2. We decided bed at 9:30 for the orphans instead of 10!
My sweetest moment of the day was Yura playing trying to get everyones attention. He is one of the older boys and full of mischief and life. He likes to play tricks. We sang a Christian son to the beat of "We Will Rock You". Americans are already laughing, because of the change in words, but Yura's dancing....hard to describe, but delightfully funny. He has the attention getting personality.
Some may not know but we are at Village of Hope. There are homes for Christian foster families here. There is a real difference in the children of the foster families and the ones from the orphanages. A little love makes a lot of difference. They are dressed better, follow directions better and behave better. It is great to see Christian Ukrainians making a difference.
I hear many churches dream of doing camp but lack the money.
There is no air-conditioning here. It gets hot in the buildings by afternoon. Many homes and apartments do not have air-conditioning. We open the windows to cool off at night.
More to come
