Arrival - We are pleased to inform you that Summer
Program Dream Vacation has been launched and the first group
of orphans has safely landed here in the United States. We
would like to thank our sponsors, volunteers, and
organizers. |

Beach
House Entry - Finally, after driving for
six hours, we arrived! We arrived at the beautiful beach house
in Capistrano Beach that we would all be staying at for the
next 3 days. |

Disneyland
Dream - Everything that a regular
American kid can take for granted, an orphan child from abroad
accepts with such a delicate unbelief and such an overwhelming
happiness that he or she can be compared to a stunned
Cinderella who appeared at the palace for a ball for the very
first time. |
 |
Pool
Party - Giggles and laughter were the
main sound heard at Susan’s Porterville home where the
children and adults were having a pool party. A bounce house
and a in ground pool were the main attractions in the home’s
spacious backyard. Parents, volunteers, and children came with
their bathing suits on, ready to have a good time
swimming. |

It Is
Hard To Say Goodbye - August 6, 2004, was
a sad day for families and orphans. At 6 a.m, they were to
depart back to Ukraine. After spending three fun filled weeks
with their host families, none of the children were ready to
go back home. |
