Greetings!
 
April Team 
In April, our team was asked to introduce ourselves to the children at Project Sasha.  When it was my turn, I decided to let them ask me questions.  They already know me somewhat, so I thought it would be interesting to see what they were curious about.
 
The first question was, "How old are you?"  That one threw me.  Life is a lot harder in Ukraine and adults don't have time for any kind of foolishness.  So, the children aren't used to seeing a 58-year-old  join in their activities.
 
The next question was, "What is your job?"  Again, in Ukraine work is hard and it takes a lot of effort just to provide the basics for your family.  So, they see me making frequent visits and wonder how I do it.
 
I told them I have the best job in the world.  I get to visit with them and see how special they are.  Then, I get to go back and report to the very special people who love them and support them.  I am the only one who has the privilege of knowing both groups.
 
I wish everyone could make the trip at least once.  We are planning to sponsor a one-week discovery trip next April.  Possible dates and an itinerary exist only on scratch paper at this time.  Please prayerfully consider this opportunity.
 
Don't grow weary,
Charles
