Rockin' rollik with Rakhym

Rockin' you know.
Rollik is from a previous blog.
But what is Rakhym you wonder?

Well Rakhym is the name of an orphanage. It's different than most in that it only has 4 children. They live in a home with a Kazakh family. In past years we've helped remodel their kitchen, clean out their yard of wild bushes and debris, as well as help purchase clothing, book, etcetera. This year we are sponsoring them to take English lessons. The oldest girl likes to practice with us!

With the delegation we took them out for a special evening including dinner at a very trendy restaurant (the girls were excited to tell their friends)! Then we headed out to the square for roller blading (rollick), air hockey, and some good old fashioned tag. Jason (the American) proved to be the fastest, but Kiikzhan kept him running by zig zagging all over the square.
