We had some travel problems but our team are here and working with the kids.  Monday we met some of the children and prepared for our week of crafts, songs and games.  Tuesday was a full day with the children.  If you look at our photo galleries (click here), you will see we started our Tuesday program with making pictures.  The children have such basic skills that it is a challenge for them to use crayons, pens and pencils.  Many of the kids liked to use the stickers so they made their pictures from just stickers.  As you may know, we have hired a teacher to work with the kids for a couple hours each day.  Her hard work is showing some results.  One of our team members is a teacher and she was sharing with us that the kids are showing verbal and writing skills.  We are so excited that the early beginnings of an education process is now being formed.

Wednesday’s children’s program is just about to begin.  We will report more in 24 hours and post many new pictures.  

We thought you would like to know some quick project updates...


Thank you for your support!  It is amazing for our team to see your contributions at work here in Mukachevo.  We hope you enjoy the photos.
