I found this photo this morning, you can see many of our students and the group home parents singing at the church in Zaporosia for a Christmas program, sure to make Garry miss his students more!
Garry has booked his plane ticket for January 9th, anxious to get back to the village with all the stuff he's collected to help with teaching his classes. He has been getting posters and informational DVD s from farm businesses and even some gifts for the students- like hats. He has not had much luck in finding out the best way to get the students here to Canada for a summer experience to see and maybe even work on farms.
The addition to the boys' house has progressed while we've been gone, as you can see in the photo John Weins sent us this early in December. The builder is using hollow, reinforced concrete-filled styro-foam blocks to form it up, it will be stuccoed on the outside. This will add a large common room and three more bedrooms to this group home, so more boys can live there next school year. More of the work was completed before the snow fell last week. Of course, more money is needed to finish, and that's before we even start the work on finishing the barn for the trade school!
