some pics from the project "family care" i am now involved with in Korce

Rushan Doko and I
Rushan Doko and I. Rushan Doko and his wife live in a tiny single room house with no bathroom. He is literally one of the most loving thankful persons I have ever encountered, even though his has almost nothing and struggles to even feed himself and his wife. He says he loves the Bible and tries to read as much as possible but does not know how to read very well.

village of Zvezde
sometimes you just cant help yourself. the villagers love seeing a foreigner get on a horse, donkey or in this case a mule. we had and have many good laughs with the people we meet each day in our project. joy is a must. so many of the families we minister to in the Family Care Project suffer from great depression and stress. Village life is very hard in Albania.

Gazmor & Hekoran Hoxha and I
The Hoxha brothers are great to spend time with. They are very poor and physically ill but each time we visit with them a great time is had and we all are encouraged. The Hoxha brothers only income is by making the brooms you see in this picture and selling them in the city. They literally don't make more than 3-400$ per year.
