God bless angels like these | 4:38 p.m. July 2, 2008
Like Doug and Eva Bates and others like Travis and Renae Hansen who do so much for the less-privileged and orphans of Russia.

These children have so little and we have so much-almost too much to properly appreciate. We should encourage all who read to share of their prosperity to assist in helping make a better life for these young ladies and so many others like them.

To get an understanding of life in a Russian orphanage-rent the movie "The Italian" which details the sad life of a six-year old orphan boy.

God bless you and your foundation Eva Bates!
