Now THAT'S a Slide !!!
This is our new slide at the baby orphanage in Krivoy Rog, Ukraine! You can see the old "Soviet" slide in the back. I like the new "God Loves You" version a BIT better! "OPERATION CAN BE DONE" IS GOING STRONG!
Operations that will CHANG childrens' lives have started! Watch for AMAZING stories in the next (March) edition of Edventures!
Last year I found out that doctors were writing "Operation can not be done" on the bottom of the orphans' medical reports ... simply because the kids did not have parents ... We started "Operation Can Be Done" ... many have joined us to watch the miracles happen! THE MIRACLE HEATER
We CAN change that! Dianne Hamilton, from Halifax, is an AMAZING Canadian who is helping us to change Anatoly's life. When I visited him in January he was huddled under the covers of his bed (at 2pm!) because he didn't have any heat in his house. He was looking for scrap wood to burn in his old stove. I asked if he'd like me to buy him a fancy shmantsy electric heater. "No" he said, "Can't afford the electric bill." I asked our local hero, Lena (she helps the seniors there) how much his electric bill would be, and she said, "Thirty dollars a month". I told Anatoly, "You just got a new heater that runs on LOVE!" HOUSING CRISIS?
I thought she had come for a visit ... turns out she was really there to save her life. The pastor, Vera, was giving Tanya a hot meal as well. Vera told me that she is praying for a miracle - **that they could have a house** - for Sunday services AND to help the elderly all week long. I asked our local hero, Sergey, how much a house would cost. He showed me one and said it was $3,200. I feel another miracle coming on!

JUST COMPLETED!
My dear friend Anatoly is living on thirty dollars a month. Sadly, over ten thousand seniors die every year in Kyrgyzstan from starvation and freezing to death.
The church in Orlovka, Kyrgyzstan, is situated in a small apartment. When I was there I met an elderly lady, Tanya, who was sitting in the small living room. She had come to warm up, because there was no heat in her apartment.|
