Tatyana and me. She is the "Director" of the School, which is the same as an administrator or principal.
I'm filling up my cup with the water. They say it Holy Water. It is VERY cold and everyone fills up their bottles and drinks it. Tastes like regular tap water to me. But at least we didn't have to BOIL it for 10 minutes!
Holy Water well inside this building


Students and me in the Monastery
