​FROM LVIV, UKRAINE

​SLAVA UKRAINI! SLAVA UKRAINI! SLAVA UKRAINI! SLAVA UKRAINI!

I TRAVELED TO LVIV, UKRAINE ON JUNE 17 AND SPENT 6 WEEKS THERE TO HELP SOME OTHER VOLUNTEERS RUN A SUMMER CAMP FOR THE CHILDREN OF SOLDIERS SERVING IN THE FIELD, FIGHTING THE RUSSIAN AGGRESSION. MOST OF THESE KIDS HAD ALSO BEEN DISPLACED BY THE WAR, MANY MORE THAN ONCE.

WHILE I WAS THERE I POSTED DISPATCHES HERE ON THIS PAGE DESCRIBING MY EXPERIENCE, SOMETIMES IN PAINFUL AND EVEN EMBARRASSING DETAIL.

BUT IT IS TIME TO PUT THEM TO BED AND TRY AND USE THIS SPACE TO HELP THE GOOD FOLKS OF UKRAINE!! AND GUESS WHAT?? I'M GOING TO ASK YOU​ TO HELP!  

SO COME BACK OFTEN AND SEE WHAT'S NEW IN UKRAINE AND WHAT WE CAN ALL DO TO HELP THESE GOOD FOLKS!!.
