A little more

 

See it looks like they had eggs for breakfast, and there's Richard feeding some to Angelina. It's the interaction and friendship with the students and the people in the village that are the best memories, not the work that gets done. 

Not that the work wasn't worthwhile! Thanks to whoever sponsored Jeremy to come so he could fix all the electrical panels and wiring in both barns, everyone is now safer!

The team, especially Richard and Jack, helped Garry and the students and staff who worked on it, make the barn more suited to raising chickens, which has turned into a profitable business for the project. 

Finished broilers are sold via the internet and delivered weekly to customers in the nearby cities of Zaporosia and Dnipro.

The students love interact with the teams and to see their Canadian friends come back again. Besides, who wouldn't want to share a bathroom with ten other people for a week? 

 There were a few reminders that there was a war not far away. They got to see Ukrainian fighter jets fly over the farm one day, and driving there are block posts (Garry said you didn't have to stop, they waved the cars through). Here's a photo of metal hedgehogs on (beside?) the road on the way to Zaporosia and yesterday in Kirvoy they saw a pile of salvaged destroyed tanks.
