A Routine Tuesday




Each Tuesday is busy, but such a joy, as we spend most of our day at Saramoldaeva orphanage. As a company we sponsor three family groups at Saramoldaeva. We spent one hour with each of our groups today. Our youngest children's group enjoyed putting together puzzles. They also loved the game heads up 7-up (what a throw-back to fourth grade indoor recess). We did an extremely difficult craft (frustrating for those of us - mainly myself - that have not completely developed our fine motor skills) and played uno with our girls group. We played picture bingo with our boys group. We also had the chance to spend some time with a group of children that had left our youngest group and moved to a group of children in first and second grade. We celebrated two birthdays and had fun building things with lego-like blocks. Although it was tiring, it was an extremely enjoyable and rewarding day. I look forward to each Tuesday as we continue to build our relationships with these small groups of children.
