In case you are wondering, the small scale opening of the trade school is still happening this fall. A few plans have changed, and they are still a little short on funds to get things done, but enough came in last week to keep going. The carpenters are back at work on the "girls house" which should be ready soon. It still needs a furnace put in for heating the place, but money is coming to get everything done there.
They have rented a house in the city of Zaporosia for the guys and their foster family - the couple who quit their jobs in Odessa to come here, because that village house needs a lot of work done before it will be ready for them, although some changes have been made to the inside- like pulling off old wallpaper, it is supposed to have an addition of several rooms built on.
They are still trying to finalize how many students are coming, but it looks like there will be 8-10 orphans plus a few students from the village. Garry has done some work on what he will teach, they think they have found a translator for him. He's been checking out Seth and Jonah's homeschooling Biology textbooks, and hunting the internet for parts of a cow illustrations.
So when something exciting happens I'll let you know and I'll get some photos!
