Today was our first full day in Kerch and also our first chance to see what our Ukrainian counterparts do in the city. All three of us went with Tanya S. (we have a lot of Tanyas here) to a school to help with our bi-weekly school feeding program. We brought soup, rice, chicken and drinks to a school outside of Kerch for their students who are known to be from poorer families. Here are some shots of the food and me serving it.
You may not be able to tell from this picture but the white coat I'm wearing is roughly 4 sizes too small. I literally needed help to get it on, but the school officials demand this for serving food.
Here's Sweet Sarry reading the boy a bedtime story in our office/living room/nursery. If you look closely you can see the pictures from the feeding program in the computer screen!
Our bedroom, complete with king-sized bed (actually 2 twin beds side-by-side).
Our kitchen/dining room.Sarah asked me to put a disclaimer on the shots of the apartment. We are nowhere near being unpacked so the mess is not indicative of our normal cleanliness standards.
