My Precious children in Belarus . This family was the first we ever recieved a letter from in 2001. They have an older sister named Tania . Pictured here are Nastia and Andrey . Their Mother Marina is a widow and 13 year old Tania wrote us to thank us for her sister's box . She knew no English and translated the letter by using an English Dictionary. I was so touched and inspired that our family determined to do as many boxes each year as possible.
