Thanks for the gifts!

The Alberta team left the students some brand new warm Canadian socks as gifts, and it was cold the day they got them so they were happy to get them. The students really enjoyed working with the team and were sad to see them go home. They can't wait to work with the new teams next week.

We had some other visitors the Friday the team was here, a Ukrainian lady we know who has lived in Canada for 15 years was in Dnepro with her daughters visiting family and wanted to give the orphans something, so they went shopping with Victor and brought kolbasa, macaroni, buckwheat, oatmeal,oil, tea and even toothbrushes and shampoo.

 I used them in my English lesson on the following Wednesday... and then told them that they were gifts for them from our visitors. The students were thrilled to receive bags of food.  The boys carried their two bags home, and Garry gave the girls a ride home. They discussed how they wouldn't have to pay for food that week as they were leaving school. Thank you from the students P!
