Leaving For Belarus



This morning Jeff left for a two week trip to Belarus. Our friend Tony Morales and his son Evan are also going. They are going with the American Belarus Relief Organization (ABRO). This is an organization that brings children from Belarus to the US each summer to give their immune system time to rest and recovery from the effects of radiation still present in Belarus from the Chernobyl accident in the mid-nineteen eighties. We had a young girl named Angelina stay with us last summer, and Jeff will be staying with her grandparents during his stay in the town of Mogilov.



The weather will be a chilly 0-20 degrees with snow each day.

Jeff hopes to upload pictures and stories of his travels while there, so check back to see what he's been up to.
