Glimpse of Internot #4

Before continuing with another one of our daily posts, we wanted to pause and give you a little wider glimpse of Internot #4.


Michelle Maly, volunteer at Internot #4 (gray shirt), shows the fourth grade class how to make make a mobile.


A couple of the boys show off their mobiles.


Looking at the main building from outside the fence. This building houses offices, classrooms and play rooms. Other buildings include the cafeteria and dormitory. All buildings are connected by long corridors.


Loynia guards the front door. ;-)


The foyer.

Kids often hang out in the foyer looking out the front windows at who is coming and going.

Renee and Yuri pause to talk in one of the corridors.

Soccer field sits behind the complex of Internet buildings.

I couldn't leave Ukraine without showing a photo of a local tradition, painting the bottom 3 or 4 feet of a tree trunk white. Perhaps you've noticed this in other photos. One reason we've heard for doing so is to protect the tree from pests. Some Ukrainian say freshly painted tree trunks are a sign that Spring has arrived. ;-)
