Home sweet Home!  In the background you can see the Ukraine and right behind us is what the village is known for.  We have a quarry of white stone here and men are stone carvers. The road has several of these huts with mens names on them and that is where they do the carving.

A celebration in school.  When a message needs to be given a different home room teach is given the task to prepare the kids to be our educators for an hour program. This is class 5 doing a presentation for teachers day and how great they think the teachers are.  After the program school was dismissed (at 12) and the teachers all gathered in our conference room for champagne and cake. Then many of the teachers and I left for a program in Soroca, (the next large village 7km from us) where there was an awards ceremony and supper. 

One of the teachers daughter turned 1 and she brought treats and champagne to celebrate the day. The teacher standing is the home Ec teacher and she made the placinta.(Bread dough rolled out in oil and folded around vegetables, cheese, or fruit. It is 10 in the morning. Notice we all have our coats on in school? We teach in them alot of days as the concreate building is not warm and the hot water heating system doesn't stay warm enough to heat the size of the school.

Below is a collection of  TOAMNA  pictures.  This is a celebration of the harvest and each class decorates fruit and vegetables and they have a display with loud music and dancing, in the halls, during the breaks between classes. What you see below are all fruit & vegetables that are the decoration.
