New Thing is your love in action, inside the former Soviet Union
Curious about where NewThing.net came from?
A report from Doug Brendel to all who support or follow New Thing in Belarus...

Even when you can’t see it...
Your love shines through



Thanks from the boarding school at Shklov, Belarus


Workers care 24/7 for 89 blind and visually impaired children.


A kitchen worker does the dishes by hand:
5 meals a day (for medical reasons), in 2 shifts because the dining room is so small.


As I write, 14 households have given generously to help provide a new electric dishwasher. Thank you!

We’re just $62.03 away from the $1209.58 goal ... so close we’re almost celebrating already!

If you’d like to help close the gap, wonderful!
But in any case, as always, thanks for journeying with New Thing!

More adventures to come!

Much love,
Doug Brendel
