Christmas and New things

 


This summer a new couple joined the Hope for Each team. Oleg is Ukrainian, Lena's from Siberia and in August they moved into what was the Crawford house in the village with their two preschool aged sons and her father. They had already spent some time in the village and in September took over student affairs like scheduling, discipline and salaries.





There's a few changes like a noon time dinner for the students on weekdays, with two of the students as the main cooks, Kolya and Julia.

Soup's on


It was a great crop year this year, with enough money made for running the school, planting next year's crops, and building a second storage shed for grain and purchasing a new tractor. The chance of that much timely rain next year is about nil, and it was so dry in the fall the winter wheat barely started growing by November, but we didn't have to buy irrigation water all summer for the corn and hay crops.
