New Thing is your love in action, inside the former Soviet Union

Curious about where NewThing.net came from?

A report from Doug Brendel to all who support or follow New Thing in Belarus...

Why are these orphans smiling? Because...

It’s День Дивана! (Sofa Day!)

Generous friends gave to provide brand-new sleeper sofas for 8 homes in the Children’s Village at Kobryn, Belarus.

The last 4 sofas just arrived!

The previous sofas were badly worn and broken down — they dated from the construction of the village, decades ago.

The new ones will serve as an extra bed when big brother or sister comes home on college breaks!

House-parents are smiling too! It’s a great day!

Click the picture for a 20-second thank-you message from one of the families.

The orphans and their house-parents are grateful to all who participated in this project.

Thanks for journeying with New Thing!

More adventures to come!

Much love,

Doug Brendel
