Arrows of God Orphanage

We accompanied a few of our U S Marines and some Consulate folks to The Arrows of God Orphanage. Our generous community members donated lots of toys and money that were very much appreciated.

Moriah and Jenna helped out as Santa's Elves, picking out gifts for the kids.

These kids sang and danced along to Silver Bells and Feliz Navidad.

Merry Christmas to all these cute kids! We'll be back again soon.

Russian letters that look like english letters but sound different. (These are the most important to learn so you don't get them mixed up.) В в - Pronounced like the "v" in "vet". (Equivalent to the english letter "v"). Е е - Pronounced like the "ye" in "yes". Н н - Pronounced like the "n" in "no". (Equivalent to the english letter "n"). Р р - Pronounced like the "r" in "run", but it is rolled. (Equivalent to the english letter "r"). С с - Pronounced like the "s" in "see". (Equivalent to the english letter "s"). (It might help to remember that it's used like the "s" sound in the english words "centre" and "cent".) У у - Pronounced like the "oo" in "boot" or "root". Х х - Pronounced like the "h" in "hello". However, this is often pronounced more like the "ch" in the Scottish "Loch" or German "Bach", or the mexican pronunciation of "x" in "Mexico".
