Norwegians Visit Families in Stelpe, Invite Children to Visit Norway

From year to year have Hanne and Kåre Ruud from Norway been coming to visit Stelpe. Their vision is to support the families with children, who struggle hard to send the children to school, provide them food and clothing. Together with their generous friends in Norway, Hanne and Kåre have been supporting about 10 families for several years. Seven Stelpe children have had the possibility to visit their beautiful country.

This time they turned in to see us just for three days on their way back from Tilzha Boarding School in the east of Latvia. Though the time was short, they managed to see quite many friends here, and paid a visit to the school.

Two schoolgirls got an invitation to visit Norway for two weeks this summer.

We took farewell from Hanne and Kåre this morning, and by now we have received a message that they are safe home in Norway. We had a nice time together, and we hope they will come again soon.
