Hear that? That’s love

These kids live in a boarding school for the hearing-impaired in Zhdanovichi, Belarus.

They were delighted to welcome an American visitor...

...especially one who wears hearing aids like most of them do.

Boarding schools like this are found all over Belarus.

Each is dedicated to a specific medical condition: optic, spinal, gastro, etc.

The workers love the kids, the teachers and house-parents are great.

If we can come alongside them, it will be a privilege.

Thanks for journeying with New Thing!

Much love,
