After we visited the schools we went to visit Valya again. The young orphanage graduate with a small child. She has been loaned a piece of land by her neighbor so we went to help her turn the soil over for a garden and plant some tomatos. We visited with her three times while Julia was here and it was nice to see her in the end taking the initiative to continue what we started with her. I had started several tomato plants in my window that my Mom's neighbor Alex had given me that are from different parts of the world. It was fun to share these with her and I hope they do well inspite of the short summers here. We walked with her down to where she draws the water from the well for her house. It is about 5 blocks from her little apartment. I don't know how she manages it all with a small baby. She seemed in good spirits though and was happy to have some company. My driver Alexei HoroHonof helped us turn over the soil for her. Now we are going to look for a new door for her apartment. Alexei has a small business selling doors in our town so he is looking for someone who is going to throw away a door that he could alter for her house.
