Who likes going to the zoo? Many of our kids had never been to a zoo before so we decided to take a field trip. Those in our animal character class got to take part in this fun outing.
These are our kids from where we work, in Rosiori, about two and a half hours south-west of Bucharest. We took them up to the Bucharest Zoo, which is a pretty modest one, but they had the basics: monkeys, lions, tigers and bears (oh my!) and many more.
We stopped on the way back from one of the trips to take a picture near the rapeseed field. This is what canola oil is made of, and it is very beautiful when it is blooming.
We celebrated Easter with a big get together with those who graduated from or are in the transition programs. It also happened to be the day before my birthday so we celebrated that too. It was also Marinel's birthday so we shared the glasses and tiara. It was probably the biggest birthday party I've ever had and the singing was great!
We had a team from Canada here, and their leader Dan came to stay with us in Rosiori. He lead a photography class for all of our kids and they really loved it.
We think we may have some future photographers on our hands!
One of the kids took this beautiful closeup shot. They always enjoy taking pictures and were able to learn about lighting and composition. We also enjoyed having Dan and his wife Luella stay with us and they were a big encouragement to us.
Please continue to pray for these kids and the difficulties they face in their lives. Pray that they will flourish like this flower and that they will open up their hearts to the light of Christ. Thank you!
