Since the large part of the Holiday Team left and school has begun again for the kids we have restarted our normal schedules. Besides going to class and studying we have continued to go to the orphanage once or twice a week. The baby hospital is closed again because of a confirmed case of the H1N1 flu, we haven't been there for two months so we miss our babies. Thankfully the holiday team was able to go for a couple weeks to care for the babies.
Each time we go to the orphanage we do crafts with the kids and they always love it!
Alina is almost always all smiles!
We went to the boys transition house for lunch and they were very excited to have us spend some time with them. Mark asked Mihai what they had in the workshop and he showed each room with pride, plus his new bike and the dogs and the soccer field they made in the yard, he is so happy to be there.
We went to the orphanage in the south to give out clothes to the kids there. Ionut was very excited to see us as he remembered us from camp.
We gave each orphan at least one complete outfit plus a coat. We had them come up one at a time so we did crafts with the rest to keep it under control. The kids all had so much fun and loved their new outfits. Our new intern Ryan (left), JT (soon to be full time staff, middle), and Rob (short term team member, right) handed out the clothes.
Back at the orphanage we normally work in, Vic is always bouncing around. For a little while I enjoyed having him sit on my lap playing some games. Our other new intern, Danielle (married to Ryan) joined in the game.
I also had fun wrestling with some boys on the mats in the gym where we do our programs.
Also this week it snowed a lot so we have enjoyed the beauty of it and have been trudging through it everywhere we go.
