Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.

Isaiah 1:17


Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.


James 1:27

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Mama, Papa, Dema
 Babushka, Nastya, Dema



Playing with play-dough!





 Play-dough, dark chocolate, and Stride gum...what a day!
 2 hours just doesn't seem like enough time!  We make the best of it though!  Once again, we were ushered into the little room, so group time didn't really happen.  


It was nice that Vika and Nastya did find us behind the closed door!

 This is Amir's little brother Artum (the boy from yesterdays pictures)  Artum is 10 and Amir is 12.


 This little guy was the first to greet us when we came to the orphanage, his name is Dan.  The picture on the right is pretty bad, but it is what can look forward to as we enter the little boys area.  After Dema comes for his hugs, Dan is standing there waiting to shake our hands
And of course, here is Andre bustin' the move!

Don't forget to check out our FACEBOOK page for more pictures of the visit!

  3. Eric, LOVING your blog! The pictures are priceless...I can't imagine being one of the families loving those kids from afar and getting to see you with them! I am trying to find you on Facebook for more pictures but I can't be sure which one is you. Do you mind sending me a friend request? I'm Andrea Fogle Sapienza in Chapel Hill. I appreciate it!
