May 2006
Early in May we joined the orphanage kids in the forest near Komarivka. Children showed us an interesting folk performance, Ukrainian traditions and played games.

Then we were able to offer an incentive to the
children at Komarivka orphanage. A number of
students who worked hard in their classes and showed
initiative in their studies were selected to go on a
special field trip to Kiev for the day.

This group enjoyed the day visiting a few key sites in
the center of Kiev including St. Michael's Cathedral
and a guided tour of St. Sofia's Cathedral and then
had a fun lunch at Mc Donalds.

After lunch we spend
the rest of the afternoon at the Kiev Zoo. As you can
see from the pictures, everyone in the group had a
great time. We hope to offer this trip again next
spring to visit some new sites in Kiev!
