As summer nears an end:

Everyone is facing hardships and uncertainty due to the corona-virus; tough decisions must be made. The school that our children have been attending has closed 5th through 8th grades. We have 3 children in those classes, so we are searching for a place for our children to study. Of course, my eleventh graders wish to continue with the school where they have been studying as it is their last year. We are running out of time to make these school decisions. We made a proposal to our school, but are waiting to hear if they will accept.

Irina has set a date to get married, September 7, 2020. She has been a great help to us at the orphanage. She was a much needed help with the children during the distant schooling.

It appears, not certain yet because no official news has been posted, that the children will start the year again with distant schooling. If we are to continue studying this way, we will need to purchase another computer or tablet. It would be great to find some used computers.
