It was a typical routine of up and ready for another delicious breakfast featuring pancakes with cheese. The volunteers were then off to their normal schedules of tutoring and teaching for the day. There were some highlights through out the day. Cheryl and Doris had a new group of 6th and 7th graders in the afternoon. Pat had a great day planning for the Weds. zoo trip. Kathryn had a tour of Siedlce with her student.

The highlight of Tuesday was a dinner here at the manor with the County mayor, vice mayor, 13 of 21 County Commissioners, 4 representatives from the Ukraine a long with their translator and of course the Global Volunteers. We had a very nice meal and a slide show of the seasonal changes in the Ukraine county side. The mayor welcomed everyone, the leader of the Ukraine delegation responded and Mike responded on behalf of the Global Volunteers.

Thought for the day (from Edmund): author unknown: No longer forward or behind. I look with hope or fear, but grateful for the good I find, the best is now and here.
