Run Sasha Run

Never have I ever driven outside of the states.... Until today. I went on my first Sasha project run as the driver. It was fun to see Zander talk with the families and hug kids that had been to camp this summer. It was also comical to meet families who didn't know who Zander was, but once we said we were friends of Jenny they would smile and open up.

Quick explanation: Sasha Project is one of Jenny's ministries. Generally speaking, she would go once a week on one route. This is a way to follow up on the kids in tough situations that had attended camp. Each family gets a bag of goodies (that usually includes rice, pasta, oats, vegetable oil, cartons of juice and some candies for the kids) while Jenny would talk to the mom and kids building up relationships with the families throughout the year. Each year more kids are invited to camp, some the same an some different. During camp, Jenny and Andrew will listen to the kids and add them to the Sasha project list if needed.  There are now four routes with an average of 9 families that are visited in each route. This ministry has grown now to where Jenny cant do it by herself. She has been in the process of teaching Zander (an Ukrainian they have just hired) the ropes and this was the first time to go on a run without Jenny.
