who/what/where

This sweet letter is from the Russian program director, describing what I will be doing.

"The family you are going to stay consist of the couple Volodya and Vera and their 2 little boys Nickita 6 yo and Sasha 3 yo. Last year they had 3 orphan girls staying with them the whole year. Two of them graduated this year and they are going to take 2 new girls. It is not going to be easy because the orphan kids are very wounded emotionally and some of them physically. They need a lot of help with healing of their emotions. You will be a great help for the family. The father Volodya is working all day long and it is hard for Vera to deal with 3 orphan girls and 2 little boys of her own. The girls are studing at school during the day. They come home some time after 2pm or 3 pm. Every night they have Bible study after dinner. We bought an apartment for this family. The apartment is needed to be renovated a lot. Don't be surprised when you see ! some rooms not finished yet. You are welcome to help. They go to the church on Sundays. We love you and thank you for your willing to come and help."
