Awwww, MAN!
It is with great disappointment that I must formally remove myself from this fun VX Meet. I've been "drafted" to take photos on Saturday, and it is for an organization I've worked with before.
The group is called Global Family Alliance, and they operate an annual respite program for Belarussian children. These kids are from the area of Belarus that was affected by fallout from the Chernobyl disaster. Every year, a group of families host children for two months during the summer, providing nutricious food, free medical and dental care and a variety of other services. It's a wonderful charity, and I really cannot say "no" to them.
Check out the operation here...they're really getting some great results. I have met some of the same kids over the past two years, and they really blossom with some good old Westernized food and medicine!

I hate to drop out of the Newberg meet, but these kids really will break your heart. They deserve all the support they can get!
