Arrival- We are pleased to inform you that Summer Program Dream Vacation has been launched and the first group of orphans has safely landed here in the United States. We would like to thank our sponsors, volunteers, and organizers.
Beach House Entry
Finally, after driving for six hours, we arrived! We arrived at the beautiful beach house in Capistrano Beach that we would all be staying at for the next 3 days.
Disneyland Dream -
Everything that a regular American kid can take for granted, an orphan child from abroad accepts with such a delicate unbelief and such an overwhelming happiness that he or she can be compared to a stunned Cinderella who appeared at the palace for a ball for the very first time.
Pool Party -
Giggles and laughter were the main sound heard at Susan's Porterville home where the children and adults were having a pool party. A bounce house and a in ground pool were the main attractions in the home's spacious backyard. Parents, volunteers, and children came with their bathing suits on, ready to have a good time swimming.
It Is Hard To Say Goodbye -
August 6, 2004, was a sad day for families and orphans. At 6 a.m, they were to depart back to Ukraine. After spending three fun filled weeks with their host families, none of the children were ready to go back home.
