OnTheGo

Here's one I know you quilters/sewers will love. Sasha, the girl in black on the left end of couch, sews costumes and clothes on the old treadle machine in the background. These girls live at a halfway house that helps them transition from the orphanage and they go to school while living here. They learn the life skills that most of the kids never have the chance to learn, so they are the lucky ones. Victoria taught English there 2 yrs. Sasha put on her own fashion show earlier this yr. She is going to be a fashion designer. She was only 16 in the picture.
The one at the opposite end of couch in red, is a twin and she has already graduated university now as a dance instructor. She choreographed the entertainment for Sasha's fashion show. I have some pics of that but can't find them just yet.

Vika in the bottom picture either knitted or crocheted he yellow sweater she's wearing. She is a resident at the Krupskoi home where there are 300+ kids. Lubya was able to go live with an aunt last year. Victoria said one day Vika was raveling out a scarf she had been wearing a long time and was going to crochet it into a different pattern. These kids are very creative.
