Finally the day had arrived for us to go to Casa Gavroche (in Chisinau) with the suitcase full of arts and crafts supplies -- and for a playdate with the children.
I am not actually an arts & crafts guru and worried a bit as we were getting ready to head center, wondering if the kids would enjoy the projects we had brought.
The kids could not have been more delightful. They were so happy with their projects, and they were so pleased to show us their accomplishments. It was truly a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
Our visit was all the more fun, because my dear friend Svetlana and her daughters came with us. In fact, her older daughter, Beatrice, volunteered with Casa Gavroche last summer as a part of Wave Week, and it was she who suggested this facility as a place for us to volunteer.
I am sure that the supplies that we brought will last the children for a long time to come, and we are grateful to Peggy's friends who contributed to this project!
