29 April 2008: Tuesday in Moldova. This is my 2nd trip to this Eastern European country, the 1st being in January 2007
My family is sponsoring Nelly and Gaby so that they can complete High School and move through a trade school.
I have come to Moldova to show our strong support for these 16 year old twins.
We began the week with a walk through the park, followed by a visit to a museum.
A nice lunch at Andy's Pizza. Sergai is our driver and translator today.
This trip to Moldova is also undertaken to visit the two girls my mom is sponsoring. Here is Galina.
Galina's positive personality and gregarious nature are contagious.
Mamma and Papa.
Nieces, initially guarded in their view of this strange visitor.
Stella, my translator.
Svetlana, the case worker from CERI. She provides regular updates about our sponsored girls and facilitates communication (emails).
One member of the clan was quite reclusive.
We left Galina's home and went to Tatiana's home.
Mamma is so nice. A mom in Moldova is the same as a mom in the States or anywhere else in the world.
Tatiana, Nelly and Gaby and a tabby cat, facinated with the soft case for my camera.
We have two cats that look similar to this one.
A Moldovan playground.
