Changes

Last week Anton returned and got right to work... he reminds me of Maksym Boradin, he can't stop working. He says he is ready to stay and do the whole program this time. You may remember him as the boy who was interviewed when we were on the news. Two weeks later he had to go to his home village and did not return until last week Wednesday. He looks a little different with a super short haircut. He seems to have acquired the Luk Oil coveralls that Valera wore, that Max Rudei used to wear and has them on whenever he's working. I wonder how hot it will be before he takes them off.

Valera and Nikolai left on Monday, they plan to go to an auto mechanics trade school in July and are going to go to work in the greenhouse Valera worked in last summer. Garry says they hire orphans for their summer workforce. They did the final project, an inventory of all the farm equipment with serial numbers and prices in grivna with the other second year students last week. We will miss their smiling faces. They plan to return for  week in July before starting school.

Good bye Valera

The boys were busy last Saturday unloading supplies

Oksana riding down the street

The other girls are learning to ride the little  bicycle that Julia and Karina ride. I have seen Vika and Oksana riding it this week and I think they must not have rode as kids, like the other girls.
