Children from the Regional Orphanage at summer camp in Kazakhstan hold up the class photo and postcards sent to them from children in a summer school class in San Luis Obispo, California.
The children in KZ were surprised and happy to receive the postcards!
Special thanks to Laura Kirschner and her class for participating in the Antares 2008 Summer Postcards Project!
Special thanks to Peace Corps worker, Meghan, for her help in distributing and translating the postcards!
While spending some time at summer camp with the children she also encouraged and helped them with their English.
In addition to the Postcards Project, Meghan provided the graduates and older students with some "life skills" information. Antares supplied funding for copies of the information, that would be helpful after they leave the orphanage.
Antares also supplied the funds for all of the children to have cake after a special program.
Thanks again to Meghan for her assistance in arranging this treat for the children!
We are very grateful for all that Meghan has done to help the children.
With the funds that were left over from the money Antares Foundation sent for these summer projects, a CD player/recorder was purchased and donated for all of the RBS children to enjoy!

THANK YOU!
We would like to thank the many people who sent postcards! We received postcards from all over the US. They were well received in KZ. ALL of the children at the RBS camp received at least one postcard. The children were thrilled.
We hope to receive more photos, and we will post them, if and when we do!
