Dale, Rebecca, Masha(interpreter) & Oleg (facilitator)
Unbeleiveable. This is where we picked up the final document. Oleg was amazing as always and Masha was so easy to work with everyday. We have spent everyday, all day for the last 10 days with these two and they are now like family. They were simply amazing and driven. We have grown to love and appreciate them and their commitmment to the kids.
Dale having fun!
Funny Story! This old Ukrainian man was walking down the street and and was carrying a heavy potato sack of belongings. He would stop every 30 seconds and switch hands. Finally he crossed the road and had to have a smoke to regain his strength. I grabbed his bag and and motioned that I would carry it for him. He talked the entire time and I just nodded my head. He never even know that I had no clue what he was saying and I had no clue that he was on the 5th floor of his building. Anyway just fun to see people happy. These people work so hard for everything here.
On the way to Kiev from Sumy (5 hour trip) the sunflower fields were so amazing to look at for miles and miles. Some fields were in full bloom and a solid sea of yellow. Many fields were 5 miles long. What a beautiful country and there are many things we will miss.
Tonight we will stay in Kiev and catch a flight HOME in the morning. Can't wait to see the kids and stop sweating. We have grown to love Ukraine, the people and the culture, but still no place like home (Dorthy was correct). We will be home Saturday late and I (Dale) will travel back to get the kids the first week of August after the 10 day waiting period. We can't wait for that day! Thanks for all your prayers, there were many miracles.
