If you have donated any of the above chances are it will be in our luggage! Please check out the blog daily from September 21 - 26th to see your donations blessing the orphans!

We will be visiting the Karakastek Baby Home in Almaty Monday through Thursday. Some of the activities we have planned are: an arts and crafts day, a day playing sports and a party! We are very excited to spend time with the children and show them some love! On Friday we will be visiting a few orphanages in Almaty City and dropping off donations. Please keep this trip in your prayers! Come along next year!
