We made it to Ukraine with all the wheelchairs and therapy equipment, praise God! We drove up to JFK -- interesting drive! -- and got in line at Aerosvit where the lady in charge told ue we could not put the wheelchairs on the plane unless they were in crates! The guy who gave us permission previously was away on vacation and this lady said she knew nothing about it! We found two guys who worked at the airport wrapping suitcases in clear wrap, and they agreed to wrap all the wheelchairs and therapy equipment for us! You should have seen these guys work! So our loast team member, Kate, was delayed coming in from Norfolk, and they had to hold the plane for us, but we arrived safely and exhausted!
Today we slept well and went to the directors at Vorzel orphanage and gave them the therapy equipment and met many of our old friends there. We broke ground on the playground site, and also started work on the plumbing and heating system in one of the cottages at the orphanage. Tomorrow we go to another orphanage, then back here to continue our work. It is beautiful here, 70 degrees and very peaceful in the country, although a little primitive in amenities! More later, dave and janie
