This photo was taken at an orphanage in Kirovograd, Ukraine in the fall of 2003, during the seventh-inning stretch of a softball game. During my service, Peace Corps Volunteers from across the country traveled to Ukraine each fall to participate in a softball tournament that served as a fundraiser for the orphanage. The kids always put on a big song and dance show, and sometimes we had "mini-Olymipcs" types of contests (tugs-of-war, relay races, etc) - the kids always won! Then the orhpans always came to the softball diamond to cheer on the Volunteers on both teams.
