Today was the first day in the new Dosvitok children's center! As noted before, we are saving the real Grand Opening when the entire center has been completed, but from today forward the center is open 6 days a week from 10:00-17:00. It has been one year and four months since we lost the lease on our old premises and 6 months and 2 days since we purchased the premises we have now. Our and your prayers have been answered and the ministry can move ahead in a more effective way. Here are some pictures from the first day. The pictures as usual do not show many faces as we try to protect the privacy of the children who are homeless.
You will note that we have two pictures of people playing checkers. Ukrainian checkers has different rules. The pieces can only move forward as in American rules and jumps are obligatory, but pieces can jump both forwards and backwards. Also, when you reach the back row and get "crowned" a king, the king moves like a bishop in chess. I claimed I was new to the rules since I lost both games I played.
