The Ulan delegation was expected to come for a week to work with kids at…Ulan camp. Yea, um, not anymore. The camp is a private camp and the amount we would have been charged for staying there was too high for the delegation to afford. We tried to work around it by bringing our own food, but the price was still too great for us to actually stay there.
We then decided to take the Ulan kids away for a day (a group at a time) to a nice local water park. …But the Department of Education wouldn’t approve it since they were paying for the kids to be at camp and thought the water park posed some hazards.
So…now the delegation will be working with orphanage children in a village called Vannovka
AND will be part of a camp for children with cerebral palsy and their families near the city of Shymkent. It’s not what we had planned and everything was decided YESTERDAY! (Yes, that would be FRIDAY with the delegation arriving MONDAY!). But in all this we have to admit that a greater plan seems to be in motion that we are just a part of! Welcome Ulan delegation that’s now the Vannovka/Shymkent delegation! Welcome to Kazakhstan. I hope you packed your yoga mat, cause your flexibility is about to be tried!
