ukraine...

I hope I will be able to write here again in May, (though it still wont be very often, lol), but for the next 3 weeks I am going to Ukraine. First week: Kyiv, living on a boat:), second week Odesa, staying at a youth camp attached to orphanage, third week Kremenchuk in central Ukraine which we don't know much about yet :). We're planning to be back on 14th May.

I'm grateful to all the people who supported my premium moustache-growing. We have enough funds now so everyone's sponsor money will go directly as gifts to Ukraine. As for the 'tache itself, well, I didn't shave it yet (until all my sponsors could see it!) and am wondering how much longer I'll keep it -- whether I can get anywhere close to the Cossack guy (below), who has twirls on his? Hmmm. Don't know if I'll have any computer access in Ukraine but if i do, i'll try and put something up about our progress. Respect and prayers go out to my sisters and brothers on the team, Andrea, Becki, Casey, Tom and Nic, I hope we'll be "as one body" throughout! Respect most of all to Jesus, cos we're ultimately in His grip.

Manymany thanks to all supporters of Via and me!
