I received an update from Kostya in Ukraine this week. The families are all doing well. As expected, the Chernov family has added two children and Galina has added one. What wasn't expected is the new child in Galina's home is Timor, Zoya's son. Apparently soon after Zoya found a new place to live and moved out of Galina's home, she abandoned Timor again. Seems like whenever we take two steps forward the one step back can't be far behind. But, this is a praise- three more children are no longer living in state institutions.
Project Sasha is finding a way to operate even though they are very short handed. Kostya is even helping out with the cooking and cleaning. You have to know Kostya to appreciate that image.
Ukraine has been functioning with a coalition government for some time. The President is pro-west while the Vice-President is pro-Russia. Neither group has a clear majority. With the recent unrest in the region, the government has called for new elections in December. This has not been a smooth process in the past. The financial condition has deteriorated as well. Prices continue to increase. Factories and businesses are closing down. And, banks are freezing deposits. I will be sending construction funds today. Pray that there aren't any problems.
Don't grow weary,
Charles
