Yesterday we finished up our camp at Vanofka orphanage. Before we left, Daphne was able to give the children backpacks, school supplies, and pants for school from the children in Indiana. It was a good day, but saying goodbye to the children was difficult.
At five we left Vanofka. Bethany, Karen, Daphne, and I traveled on to Shymkent for a day of rest and preparation for a two day camp with children with Cerebral Palsy. We will leave tomorrow (Monday) morning for camp. There will be 11 children in attendance with one family member for each child.
On Thursday Ila twisted her ankle preparing for an activity. Due to the fact that the camp for those with Cerebral Palsy is spread out and requires a lot of walking, Ila preceded the group back to Taraz where she is staying with Beth. This was a disappointment for the entire group, but hopefully it will give her a chance to see more of what is happening in Taraz. We look forward to seeing her when we return to Taraz on Wednesday.
