четвер

According to Google translate, that’s how you spell Thursday in Ukrainian.  Perry did a wonderful job teaching Module 4.  We have been handing out trinkets as incentives for answering review questions at the beginning of each day.  We don’t think our descriptors of “World Famous” or “One of a Kind” are fooling anyone, but that hasn’t kept us from trying!  They have been calling us American Millionaires, so we make sure they know that every American Millionaire has a BB&T frisbee and a Prudential insulated water bottle.   

 Our lunch discussions have become more meaningful each day and the students have started to try out their English on us.  

We spent the afternoon meeting with administrators and students at the Lviv Polytechnic National University.  Some of our students joined us for a presentation on the meaning of success.   

 The university was founded in the 1800s by decree of the Hungarian Emporer and some buildings have beautiful architecture and ornate finishes, while the most modern buildings, built in the 1960s, are very utilitarian and in need of repair.   

 We finished the day at the home of our in country facilitators, Igor & Tonya Grishajev, just outside of the city.  

 They are lovely people and it was nice to have a quiet evening and a home cooked meal.  Thank you Tonya!  Tonya is a very talented seamstress and you can check out her work on Facebook by searching TG Petra.  We all picked up a few things she had on hand in her basement workspace.  They don’t have a way to order online, but she will make just about anything that someone on a future trip is willing to bring home.  Happy Shopping!
