Working at an Orphanage in Orel

Gettysburg College, my alma matter, has an excelent program that sends volunteer students all over the world to do good works and to learn about the World. I went to Orel Russia, about 200 miles south of Moscow, to work at a school for childeren with speach defects. I don't know how much I helped but I learned alot and the trip opened up the world for me and started my love of travel.
