Россия

Our trip to Russia was once again a fascinating adventure. I had the honour of being present for the ribbon cutting for an Online school in Moscow. As well, got to spend some great time with our daughter Stephanie who now lives in Moscow.

We had an additional adventure when we travelled over 1000 km and visited the Volgograd area, visiting a school in the small village of Kupsovo, formerly the Volga German village of Oberdorf. In all my Russian travels, I don't think I ever left with such optimism as i did on this trip. This small school in the midst of so much poverty is a beacon of light! More later along with some photos.
