Ira Kuchma (16), a beautiful songstress completing her junior year at the prestigious First City Gymnasium high school in Cherkassy.

 



I will also have a helper along on the tour to assist me this year:

Hope Tellifero (18), a very special young lady, a "straight-A's" home schooled student who is taking 4 weeks out of her senior year to assist me on this music ministry tour

Together, along with Vic, we will visit numerous churches and schools along our 2,000 mile route.  Beautiful music will be played, sung and heard - updates will be given on the important work being done in Ukraine, and friendships new & old will be made & reacquainted.
