Here is our 14-member team loading our luggage (plus 19 18-gallon bins) into 3 vehicles (!) at the Bucharest Airport. We were giving thanks that not one piece of luggage got lost from San Francisco to Detroit to Amsterdam to Bucharest! And, amazingly, all luggage and people fit into the vehicles for the 20 minute drive to the Team House.
Here is a view from the airport parking lot, looking towards the city, I think. After I took these I found out that the airport security does not like people taking pictures at the airport. Even though the Romanian Revolution was in 1989, Communist oppression, still effects this country.
This is the Team House, our home away from home:
Here are some views of inside the Team House:
Our first Camp with the children was held at this house in the nearby town of Snagov:
About 16 children from two different orphanages were bused to Snagov and spent 3 fun-filled days with us. They slept 4 to a tent outside, which I'm sure was a first for many, if not all of them. We played games, did Bible skits, made crafts, had zip-line rides, a Slip n Slide and ended with a pool party--all of which created smiles on little faces the 3 days we were together. Here are some pictures of the sweet faces we got to hug and love-
This was just the first of our three camps, each with kids that stole our hearts. It was such a joy to get to lavish love on these little ones who have so little themselves. We, who have so much, were prepared to give to these children, and were doubly blessed by the love and joy we ended up receiving from them.
