Chatting with the girls

Yesterday I was able to spend the afternoon trying to communicate with the girls about their living conditions.  It sounds like they have a 30 room 'dormitory,' with 2-4 girls in each room. It appears to be pretty chaotic there with only 2 adults in charge of all these girls.  They said that many of the girls run around and change rooms often. 
I don't think they have any way of locking up their belongings and that most of the items eventually end up being shared by anyone that wants/needs them.  It's a little hard to swallow that the girls won't be able to keep all the things we have given them but I know that it will go to someone that needs it.  This year is Roxy's last year of high school and then she will be moving on to a tech-like school where the government funds them with stipends to pay for living expenses.  I can't imagine it is very much money but when I asked Roxy about it, she seemed comfortable moving on from the orphanage or boarding school as they call it. 
The translation can be humorous at time.  When I was asking about their roommates, and if they liked them.  I'm pretty sure it translated into do you "like" them?  The girls were rolling on the floor laughing about it.  So I quickly rephrased it to say something different, as in, "do you enjoy their company?"
It was a fun afternoon getting to know more about them and feeling another connection with the girls.  It's surprising to me that they don't seem scared about their living conditions or what is next for them.  I guess they just don't know any different but I don't know any 16 year old that I would willing send out into the world to find their way.  Reality is so harsh! 

Picture of the girls playing with playdoh while Jacob and Josie were at school.  And all the kids reading together.  Randy found some books online in Ukrainian.  We got Valya the first Harry Potter and she is loving it.  Roxy got Hunger Games and was very excited!
