Not Exactly Retired: A Life-Changing Journey on the Road and in the Peace Corps
Loved hearing about my beloved Moldova!
David, are you familiar with Little Samaritan Mission?
They collect necessary items for school and hygiene and distribute these to remote areas of Moldova.
Also, did you run across a Russian book about poet Teffi, edited by Boris Averin and De Elizabeth Neatrour?
Lastly, Triad Publishing House in Moscow has a few
of the MacMaster Bible Story Series that may be available to the library in Moldova. I would love to help with that connection.
I have made 2 trips (week long) to help distribute necessary items to children left in the orphanages.
Mr Pindicblaj runs a radio station and many helpful outreaches through Little Samaritan Mission.
I would love to talk to you!
God bless you
Jo Lewis
