The last few winters we’ve been blessed by gifts from the Friends of Norway organization, to plan trips to Kiev for children from the orphanages as well as kids with special needs who attend our camp. This year we took these two groups on a joint excursion to a chocolate masterclass and indoor water park.
Lviv Master’s Chocolate did a free masterclass for 10 of our kids from camp. They were able to cut their own shapes of chocolate and decorate them. They even were able to take home their delicious chocolates in a basket made of chocolate! Every child enjoyed making chocolates just as much as they did eating them! After we finished they even offered every guest a free cup of hot cocoa.
Following the masterclass we went to the water park with children from the Boy’s House Orphanage. It has been a very snowy winter this year, so nothing quite like swimming and water slides in the middle of winter.
We were thankful to have some wonderful volunteers who helped carry the children in wheelchairs in and out of the bus as well as helping out with swimming at the water park. Time flew by but everyone really enjoyed it. Of course no trip to Kiev would be complete unless we went to McDonald’s!
Ukrainians love McDonald’s and our kids really enjoyed their Happy Meals and Big Mac’s. We were so happy to organize this Christmas/New Year trip for the youth. Lillia, Valeriy and Sergei from our office did a wonderful job organizing this outing. God has blessed us tremendously to do special like this the last few winters.
We look forward to all the amazing things God has in store for us this year. Please keep God’s Hidden Treasures in your prayers. We are just a week away from our Night to Shine celebration. Please pray for Nita as she travels in the US and speaks at different churches. Thank you for all your support.
God bless,
