Manna Worldwide brought a group from the Church of Bethel from CT in June on a short term trip to
construct a new playground for the orphans in Komarivka. It was a wonderfull week and we all can't
wait for the rest of the children come back from camp to enjoy their new
playground.

NOW
During our closing program, the Assistant Director surprised us with a speech
(in English), written below for you to read. We were all in tears by the end.
Dear American Friends,
On behalf of all the pupils of this orphanage, the teachers, all the workers I would like
to thank you for this wonderful playground. It's not just a playground, but it's the trace of kindness left by you
in our school. We will remember you for many years. We are grateful to the Lord for choosing you and
sending you here to help the children.
It's a great pleasure to get such nice presents from you as the playground,
refrigerator, clothes and some other gifts. We believe that you won't forget us and
hopefully this meeting is only the beginning of our friendship.
I would like to thank Doug and his friends too. They have been supporting us for three years
already. You don't just know our problems, but you help us solve them. We are sure everything was done from the heart by
you. We wish you good health, family happiness and success in all your deeds.
Sincerely, Ludmilla Vasilevna, Assistant Director
What a beautiful confirmation of the ministry steps we have taken. Please continue to pray for the Lord to open the eyes of the staff and children there that they might realize where this kindness comes
from. That they might find their hope in Jesus.
You are a vital part of our ministry here. Thanks for all your support and prayers!
