Shopping with the Kids

Recently Lora, Dasha and Zhenya took the kids from Hope Orphanage shopping at a local market. The girls went on Thursday morning, then the boys went on Friday. Lora was quite impressed with the way the kids looked out for one another and were so willing to be generous with each other. They were a little surprised by the prices for jeans and shoes, and were timid about making purchases but they all did a great job getting the things they needed. Lora was amazed that they did not waste their money, but rather made thoughtful purchases. The word spread around the market that kids from the orphanage were shopping and several vendors gave discounts and even free merchandise. Thanks to all our sponsors for making a difference in the lives of these children.
