The TB children's center in Chisinau: Update

Good news!  Our Moldovan friend Irina emailed us this week and sent us photos, showing us that the tuberculosis kindergarten/center has received all new doors, and some new windows already!  So many people have generously given money towards this project -- it's been wonderful to see changes actually happen to help these poor children.

The picture on the left, below, was taken before we left Moldova last spring.  The picture on the right shows one of the new doors just installed!

Here is another before/after:

And a few other new items:

Now a company is coming in to do the finishing work around each of the doors/windows this week.

The 60+ children who live there are going to be warmer this fall and winter!!  They won't need to push mattresses up against the doors to keep the cold air out anymore!

I think at this point all 7 of the doors have been paid for, and 14 of the windows.  There are over 60 windows to be replaced in total, though, so we're still raising money.

Any contributions can be sent to Moldova World Children's Fund. (P.O. Box 548, Hendersonville, NC 28793)  Now that Pete is on the board of this organization, he can personally assure you that your dollars are being sent directly to this orphanage/center!

It's amazing to see what can happen when people band together -- even to help complete strangers very far away.  I'm so thankful for everyone has contributed to make this all happen!
