"...look after the orphans and widows in their distress..." James 1:27 Of the more than 700,000 children in Russia classified as being "without parental care," as many as one-third reside in institutions. Thousands more are temporarily quartered in various public shelters under police jurisdiction waiting for an available space in an orphanage. Thousands of children are abandoned to the state at a rate of 113,000/year.

t-minus 14 days until I venture again to St. Petersburg Russia fro the second time this year. I figured it was about time I started blogging and keeping everyone up to date on my experiences. This picture is from my first trip. I will try to keep up with my experience this time.
