No more teachers' dirty looks...

To help the Saramoldeava children end their school year, we had a great picnic by the river with the boys group and girls group as well as all the "ministers" (class officers) of the orphanage and a few of their teachers. I had a lot of fun bonding with the teachers, especially one who helped drag me into the water! The other great thing was that a couple of the older boys absconded Sara's camera and mine ad got some really great shots!







You might notice that a picnic for one orphanage seems way cooler than handing out small gifts at another. But Ulan has about 200 children we work with and the least amount of structure and discipline. On the other hand Saramoldeava has about 18 groups of children and wide number of sponsors (we sponsor only 3 groups) and they are highly organized. It's just of the challenges we face working with a wide variety of orphanages here in a culture that is still weeding out corruption.
