MIR — Camp Elama
March 28, 2010
Camp Elama is slowly thawing out; Spring is here, yet the snows remain and the work preparing for the summer has begun. MIR has exciting plans for the summer.
Back in December Sergei and John laid foundations for two new buildings, and in May and June teams from Georgia and Mississippi will be building on those foundations and doing other prep work.
MIR has purchased a riding mower/lawn tractor which will allow for clearing much more land and creating hiking trails. Unfortunately, some items were stolen this winter so they are having to replace parts of the water system and a few tools.
Sergei Tovstapyat, camp administrator and general handyman, has begun building wood stoves in the cabins so the camp can be used for more of the year. You might also want to check out the new website for Elama.
This summer, in addition to hosting several churches at Elama, they’ll run their own camp for the first time. They plan to have 20 children, and they’re also hoping that some young ladies from the Minsk Family Home will come up from Belarus to help. Anya Kazak and Natasha Pavlova will be leading that camp.
It’s going to be a good summer at Elama.
