Kazken: April 2009
http://kazken.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Nowraz, what is that? If you are familiar with Kazakhstan you may know what Nowraz is, if not let me give you a bit of Kazakh culture. Now-raz (pronounced now - raz only you must roll the "r" as you say the second syllable) is the the historical Kazakh New Year as they used to celebrate the new year when spring arrived. It actually makes sense as winter is cold and a bit lifeless. Spring brings flowers, buds on trees and everything begins a new. It's also a time where communitie...

Kazken: Nowrez at Ulan
http://kazken.blogspot.com/2009/04/nowrez-at-ulan.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Since you already know a little about Nowraz, let me also share this story with you. Due to some special givers back home we were able to celebrate Nowraz in a special way at the Ulan orphanage. Since Nowraz means "Spring" and the weather is getting nice we knew the children would soon be spending hours outside playing sports. Unfortunately most of the sport balls they have are well past optimum playing usage and are few to pass around. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Helpin...

Kazken: 4 Corners
http://kazken.blogspot.com/2009/02/4-corners.html
Saturday, February 14, 2009. I know it has been a while. Pardon my slackness in creating a new blog. Thanks for joining in with me to see what life is like for the orphan children here in Kazakhstan. As you may already know, we host a birthday party, once a month, for each orphanage we have the blessing to work with. A good time is had by all and we are fortunate to share God's love in small but practical ways. And it is friends and sponsors back home who help make all this happen. Returning to the US.

Kazken: March 2009
http://kazken.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. We've been so busy I didn't have time to duck my head! Well, maybe I'm making excuses, but I'm sticking to it. We've had a Kids Connection Delegation in town and making sure they touch base with as many of the orphans we work with, as possible. So it has been a lot of running around. More on that in a later update. All in all it was a very nice trip with the gang and a nice rest from an otherwise very busy week! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Become a Monthly Supporter.

Kazken: January 2009
http://kazken.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Savva Orphanage Dec. B-Day party. Since we can't host a special Birthday party for each child, we have birthday parties for Savva, Ulan and Saramoldaeva orphanages once a month, celebrating birthdays for all children, in the given month. In December, we went to the Savva orphanage, and celebrated birthdays for about 14 children. How many of you get to have fun celebrating birthdays every month! We love doing that here. Wish you could join us. Sunday, January 11, 2009. It was ...

Kazken: SAVVA 2009
http://kazken.blogspot.com/2009/07/savva-2009.html
Monday, July 6, 2009. Savva English Camp 2009 went especially smooth this summer. With many returning delegates and a growing relationship with children, Savva Administration and Staff it just seems to get better with each passing year. Weather wise it was the nicest camp I've seen in my 6 years here. Not too hot in the afternoons and cool evenings. Only thing missing was you! Thanks for all your encouragement, help and support.

Kazken: June 2008
http://kazken.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 9, 2008. Friends, David Knauss and his family (Theresa, kids: Jenae, Natalie, Daniel and Caleb) are here for the month of June. They arrived last week and we have enjoyed some fun times as well as many meetings. We went with Dave's family to the Savva orphanage to celebrate their 90th Anniversary last friday. Saturday the Youth Department had a swim/picnic party with the Saramoldaeva orphanage children. I'll try to post more pictures later. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Returning to the US.
