Day 2: This was our first day in the city! We woke up, had some breakfast and then headed to the Ministry Center! We had no idea what to expect, we just knew that once we arrived, we would meet with the staff, and then wait for some orphan graduates to arrive whenever they could. The amazing thing was that the first person that I saw when I walked in the door was Sergei. This is a boy that I met at the orphanage 3 years ago. He was one of the grads that I really hoped to see. He is only 16, and is living in the city now and going to technical school. We played some football (actually the boys did, and we chatted with the girls) and then we headed to lunch! When we got back from lunch, our friend Viktor was outside waiting to see us!!! What a great great surprise! We spent the rest of the day meeting all of the graduates, and then we hung out that night and caught up on the day.
