One never knows what is going to happen--particularly when one volunteers to go to Moldova.
Willem Jan Oosterkamp, from our home church in the Netherlands, came to give advice on a hydroponic fish-and-vegetable project. He did not expect to end up as one of the honored guests at a Romany birthday party--complete with singing, accordian music, and a regular feast.
As earlier volunteer George Bowling noted, "I told my wife I was eating food that I didn't recognize with people who spoke a language I didn't know. And I was loving it!"
We think Willem Jan enjoyed himself, too. And he was also quite helpful when it came to the fish.
