Fruity Delicious

With nostalgia we look back to Christmas long ago when fruits and nuts were used to fill the stockings instead of MP3 players or Bluetooth phones. Here in Kazakhstan though, the children prize fruit, especially when the winter is long and the prices rise too high to afford it. The older girls in the Youth Impact program requested fruit and so once a week they receive fruit when they come to the life skills training. At Savva last month the kids made it pretty clear they were missing fruit, so I had the happy chore of delivering an apple and an orange to each child at Savva this past weekend. Our desire to give coincided nicely with the celebration of Women’s Day. Later in March we’ll take fruit to Ulan, one of the orphanages here in town. Fruity delicious!
