Daria is finishing her first year at the University of New Mexico. Classes, work at the cafeteria, singing for First Pres, singing and dancing for theater, winning competitions, and studying at night make for busy days. All freshman year, she rode buses. SHE NEEDS A CAR. If you have one to sell for $2500 or less or one to donate to our non-profit, This Child Here, please email me: robertgam@gmail.com

Here's Daria's Report Card (more Report Cards for the year at the end of this email)

Our Spring tour is finished. Along with visits to churches we see every year, in Albuquerque, Dallas,

New Orleans, WADC, and Atlanta, we met the pastors and congregations of ten new churches:

Overbridge PC, Columbus, OH

Covenant PC, Cincinnati, OH

St Philip PC of Huston, TX

First PC of Atlanta, Lawrenceville PC, and Buford PC all in the Atlanta area

First PC in Columbus GA

Central PC and North Anderson PC in Anderson SC

and White Memorial, Raleigh.

The highlight of this Spring for me was Artist in Residence at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington DC. Dr Timothy Chon is the director of that program. Our exhibit was 20 images of families displaced by the war.

Drone strikes have increased, Here is a sample of what we look at each morning after a night of attacks. We have decided to move from our apartment at the port to one more in the Center of the City of Izmail. It's safer.

Of course, I am anxious about returning to Ukraine. I never believe I will be killed or injured by a drone, But I fear the death or injury of members of the families we serve. That's the cost of loving people in time of war. Below are the other five students from Ukraine and attending school in the USA.
