We regret to inform you of the death of Nina Vasilovna this week.

Summer smiles

28/6/2021

Some wonderful news to share, and some beautiful smiles!!
Br. Liam and Tamara visited Gorodishche recently bringing some ice-creams but most of all bringing the messages of love from Ireland from our volunteers who miss them all so dearly. They send their love back tenfold and can't wait to see everyone. This is the second year of no volunteers and the void is felt by both sides.

We think it will be a great success but we really need your help!
