Christmas 2009
It was a winter wonderland in Ukraine, Dec. 20 - Jan. 10th (2010), please view the photos and share in the JOY that you brought to so many orphans in Ukraine. Our mission was 2-fold, distribute the Christmas boxes that so many of you donated, and complete the sale, and furnish the 2 houses that we purchased for Children Homes. All this was accomplished (thanks be to God) despite several weather interruptions.
