So Jengish is now on horse back !

Today was a cold rainy day, and even a bit of snow... I go the team ready with Food, and Soccer uniforms for all the kids at the Village orphanage , Then sent them off and went back to bed for a couple hours.... I love an afternoon nap listening to the rain.... I also wanted to get caught up with some photo's and the latest news... there is a special photo in with these.....

This is in front of the gardens at another village orphanage when we went to meet with the director . I am here with Kyle and one of his incredible volunteers Betty . Almos is busy packing and un packing the car.... all day Packing bags to take to the invalid home Lots of excitement as we arrived with ice cream and lots of other goodies. I was going to get a full haircut and a little tighter trim on my beard, but with all the people watching and all the camera's flashing, the barber at the new barber shop was shaking , he was so nervice....

I just thought this was a cool photo of one of the men watching the concert, you can see the man in the back ground eating an ice cream cone.....

even the radio man came out of his little room to say hello

Another great photo of the kids going for a donkey cart ride....

Just to make sure you were reading the whole blog, this is Christina's new baby.. born last night ... 9 lb baby girl... mom and baby are doing well.... Jengish and Cola helping a new Babushka into the Seniors house....

Tonight I went for "Tea" at Mesha's house... ... For those of you who don't know Mesha, he Timed out of one of the orphanages that we support, and he has been fortunate enough to have a wonderful sponsor that is eager to help him out.... His friend is another young orphan that was living with his Uncle.... he was going to school and working... he then had an accident at work and cut off the end of his finger. The uncle gave him money for medical bills, but when he could not work and did not got to school for the week, his uncle recalled the loan... un able to pay, the uncle took his documents and kicked him out of the house... he now lives with Mesha...

The house is very clean and tidy, and I even snooped around and found no sign of other substance issues.. they are living on one side of a small house.. apart from bad neighbours, it is a very nice spot and in a good area of town....the problem is that it is not a separated apartment, but they each have two rooms of one house, so there is no separation from the neighbour. I spoke with the land lord, and she is not thrilled with the other renters either, and likes Mesha...the other people have given their notice and will be leaving in three weeks... we reached an agreement that I would rent the other side of the house so if Mesha thought he had problems with his last neighbour then look out...lol... kidding aside, I got it for $25 a month fully furnished.... and with it comes all the gardens and out buildings as well.... A small price to pay to secure a quiet safe house for Mesha.. he has also agreed to over see and maintain both so that it can be used as a temporary safe bed if we need it... something that seems to be in big demand here.... We also discussed future plans with Mesha... since we got to town, he has done very well in school, and is now eagerly working toward going to college in the capital city... It was so good to see a spark in his eye, and an excitement knowing that he had a chance at a brighter future... Knowing that someone has taken a personal interest in him has made all the difference to him....

I just got a call from Jengish... he is the proud new owner of a horse... not that he wanted a horse, but that is all the man had to pay him after running into his truck.... so Jengish is on horse back now.... humm I wonder If we can park our horse in the compound at the foundation..... hummmm
