Greetings from sunny (today) Novi Sad, Serbia. After the double Christmas/New Years Holiday craziness things have settled down a bit. Tho’ the weather cannot decide if it is Winter or Spring. We have had days where it would snow in the morning, be in the 50s in the afternoon, rain, then snow again that night. There are only 50 days until Spring arrives, not that we are counting.

Wow #1: Remember how we were celebrating getting names for 15 kids in the Big Pit?? We missed the goal. We blew it. When the smoke settled and the dust cleared we found we had helped 28 kids!!! Thank God there were already enough sponsors and funds from The H.I.K.E. 2023 to make this a reality. Our thanks to everyone who made this leap possible!!!!
Wow #2: Speaking of The H.I.K.E….in a series of events both unplanned and wonderful, we will have a second fundraiser this year. A most dear friend (Yes, Jason Hoag, you) and his brother have put together an event we could not help calling The B.I.K.E. Jason and Matt will be cycling from Pittsburgh to Washington DC, yep – all 335 miles (500km for our metric-minded friends). Check out the most excellent video Jason’s Brother (Matt) put up on YouTube. You can also follow their progress …Look for updates and videos on our Facebook page.
Wow #3: For those of you wondering how you can be part of the continuing WOWNESS. Great News!!! We have met some new families with kids who need help. If sponsors can start their contributions now, there will be enough $$$ to kit out these kids for the 2024 school year. More info on kids needing sponsors can be found here>>>Students
Yep…school is out but we have a way to help the kids keep their little grey cells active!!!
It might look like fun and games (OK, it is fun and games) but all designed to teach a lesson. Continue reading
