On June 25, we went to a large kindergarten in Singerei town where the Church had donated 23 3-drawer beds with mattresses.  The children are between the ages of 2 and 7 years old and stay in the kindergarten all day, 5 days per week, year round.

 Because they are here all day, there is a nap time each afternoon in these beds.  They wer real happy for their new beds.

 This is what the beds look like when not in use.

 On the day that we visited, the children put on a program.  That is why they are dressed so nicely.

 They danced.

 They danced somemore.

 They sang and recited poems.

 Even the smaller children did their parts of the program.

 And they also danced.

 And they danced some more.

 And they sang and recited some more.

 Then afterwards, the kindergarten served a hot lunch of native foods.  Seated with Elder Kneib is mayor Vasile Doga and Doina Stepanenco, our translator.

 Beside the mayor sat the kindergarten director Elena Patras.

 The mayor presented a painted vase to Elder Kneib as token of his appreciation.

 On a previous trip to the kindergarten in March 2014, this is the part of the kindergarten play ground outside of the building.

 This another scene of the playground.

 This is an activity room inside the kindergarten building.

These are the old beds that the new beds replaced.  The kindergarten was first opened in 1981.  That is probably how old these beds are.
