A lot of Спасибо’s!

I’m delighted to report that 25 households gave generously to help surpass the $3550 goal and release a $5000 Matching Challenge.

This means that all the Children’s Village orphans aging out of the system in Kobryn, Belarus, and heading to university or trade school will receive Life Starter Kits.

So ... a HUGE Спасибо (thank you) from Wilhelm, Maxim (left), Danila, Boris, Victoria, Bogdan, Ivan, Maria, Dmitri, Diana (center), Ekaterina, Dasha, Elena, Artuom, and Ruslan (right)...

And from the house parents who have cared for them all these years.

God bless all who gave. And whether you were able to donate or not, thank you for journeying with New Thing.

I’ll send photos from the graduation party!

More adventures to come!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
