Samovars and Shashlik: Gems of an Overseas Adventure - Softcover

For five years, we taught English on a volunteer basis to men and women going through rehabilitation in various residential rehab centres belonging to a faith-based humanitarian organisation in Kazakhstan. Those five years changed our lives and deepened our faith. We discovered the immense life joy of "living to give" and give we did. We left behind family, friends, and good jobs, sold almost everything, and invested even the small inheritance from my parents' estate into the work. Since returning home, not a day goes by when we do not think of our students and friends overseas. We currently live in rural Queensland, Australia, where I write and do commissioned paintings. Pete works in a saddlery and loves it. Our children and six grandchildren live in the Brisbane region.
