[:en]Hello,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings from Latvia! How are you doing? We are doing well! We are soon off to our Christmas break at Hiiumaa, Estonia, but before that, here is an overview of our past two months.<\/p>\n

Rasmus<\/strong> \"Teethless<\/a>
\nRasmus has got used to going to school. His reading and writing skills are better and he passed all the subjects in the first semester. He is still struggling a bit with Latvian, but it is nothing serious. He is also acting out his Christianity in a non-Christian school. During their Christmas party, an old Latvian animism tradition was practiced in school and Rasmus refused to be a part of it. We did explain where it came from and how people nowadays see it just as a tradition. He made the decision himself \u2013 the first of many decisions to make in the future. <\/p>\n

Charity Concert<\/strong>
\n\"Hand<\/a>On November 27, 2016 Wings for Wheels organized a charity concert that took place in Riga Pentecostal Hope Church. Its aim was to continue fundraising to buy an adapted van needed for disability ministry. The concert was given by the Hand Bell Choir from Cesis Baptist Church, and their performance created a special celebration feeling. We are grateful to all who attended the concert and, with their donation, helped us to get one step closer to the goal. We also got to know that before the next spring we will be given a big donation towards the van. It means we are planning to buy the van in April or May next year. Thank you so much for the prayers. More photos can be seen here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Conference and Prize<\/strong>\"Kaspar<\/a>
\nOn December 3, the International Day of People with Disabilities, the Ombudsman together with the Association of Disabled People and Their Friends \u201cApeirons\u201d and the Latvian National Library organized a conference called \u201cAccessibility of Education\u201d. Along with the program of the conference that you can see at www.tiesibsargs.lv<\/a>, exhibition of various disability-related organizations took place. Wings for Wheels was also invited to participate in this exhibition. It was a good chance to represent ourselves and to get to know other organizations working in the disability field. The long term gains from participating in this conference and exhibition are publicity, new contacts and Acknowledgement Certificate of the nomination \u201cSocial Campaign 2016\u201d. This makes us feel pleased and motivates us to keep working. More photos can be seen here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Banquet at Dec 5<\/strong>
\n\"Banquet\"<\/a>For the second year in a row Wings for Wheels delighted people with mobile disabilities by inviting them and their assistants, friends or family members to participate in an event devoted to the International Disability Day. The event started with a tour of the Latvian National Library, and continued with a delicious dinner. We enjoyed beautiful songs performed by Diana Ponaskova, and Olegs Jermolajevs, Pastor of Cesis Baptist Church, invited us to think deeper about the historical significance and the main message of the Advent season. All guests received nice gifts from our sponsors. Thanks to all the supporters of the event! More photos can be seen here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Evelyn\u2019s Web Design studies in London<\/strong>
\n\"evelyn<\/a>From December 11 to 18, Evelyn was in YWAM London Urban Key media house at Wembley and took part of a web design internship week. This internship actually lasted for 6 weeks, but Evelyn joined them just for a week. During this time she got to learn how to use web design and reach the desired audience. During the time when others worked with the Urban Key website, she got personal tutoring for the YWAM Latvia and YWAM Riga pages. She learned to backup, update and fix errors and also got advice on how to continue with design. It was an intensive week, but she did have some time to take walks in the surrounding area and one evening she visited Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Being abroad and travelling \"Apinis<\/a>alone also gave her a much needed break from the everyday routine and new perspective for the future of ministry. Even though she did not live in the community for very long, she felt homey and belonging there. It was the longest time so far for Rasmus and Kaspars to be alone, but they managed well.<\/p>\n

Now we will be off to our Christmas break. <\/p>\n

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blessings,
\nKaspars, Evelyn and Rasmus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kuidas Sul l\u00e4heb? Meil l\u00e4heb h\u00e4sti. L\u00e4heme varsti Hiiumaale j\u00f5ulupuhkusele, aga enne teeme v\u00e4ikese kokkuv\u00f5tte kahest viimasest kuust. <\/p>\n

Rasmus<\/strong>\"Hambutu<\/a>
\nRasmus on koolisk\u00e4imisega \u00e4ra harjunud. Hindeid talle veel ei panda, aga k\u00f5ik ained on tehtud, kuigi l\u00e4ti keele tund ja sealsed n\u00f5udmised on talle vahel keerulised. Lugemine ja kirjutamine on paremaks l\u00e4inud, eriti eesti keeles. Rasmus on hakanud ka oma usku praktiseerima. Selle aasta j\u00f5ulupeo raames viiakse koolis l\u00e4bi vana l\u00e4ti animistlik traditsioon, mille k\u00e4igus t\u00f5mmatakse palki \u00fcmber maja ning seej\u00e4rel p\u00f5letatakse. Praegusel ajal on see vaid traditsioon, aga tegevuse algne m\u00f5te oli hoida eemal kurjad vaimud. Me r\u00e4\u00e4kisime Rasmusele traditsiooni tagamaadest ja lubasime tal ise valida, kas osaleda v\u00f5i mitte. Ta otsustas sel ajal teistest eemal olla \u2013 see on ta esimene iseseisev otsus. Ei ole kerge leida just seda \u00f5iget vastust, kus on kristlase kohalolek soolaks ja valguseks ja millal on parem eemale hoida. Seekordne otsus oli siis selline. <\/p>\n

Heategevuslik kontsert<\/strong>
\n\"Hand<\/a>27. novembril toimus Wings for Wheelsi organiseeritud heategevuslik kontsert Riia Nelip\u00fchikoguduse \u201cCeriba\u201d (Lootus) ruumides. Selle eesm\u00e4rgiks oli j\u00e4tkata rahakogumisega invabussi ostmiseks. Kontserdil esines k\u00e4sikellade ansambel Cesise baptistikogudusest, kes l\u00f5id oma muusikaga erilise p\u00fchade \u00f5hustiku. Oleme v\u00e4ga t\u00e4nulikud k\u00f5ikidele, kes tulid kontserti kuulama ning annetasid bussi ostmiseks. Natuke aega tagasi saime teada, et meile tuleb enne kevadet veel \u00fcks suurem annetus ning seega saame invabussi osta kevadel. Ait\u00e4h palvete eest!

Konverents ja tunnustus<\/strong>\"Kaspar<\/a>
\nRahvusvahelise puuetega inimeste p\u00e4eva raames organiseerisid puuetega inimeste assotsiatsioon \u201cApeirons\u201d ja ombudsman 3. detsembril L\u00e4ti Rahvusraamatukogus konverentsi teemal \u201cLigip\u00e4\u00e4s haridusele\u201d. Konverentsi k\u00f5rval toimus n\u00e4itus, kus end tutvustasid mitmed puuetega inimeste organisatsioonid, Wings for Wheels nende hulgas. See oli hea v\u00f5imalus ennast ja enda t\u00f6\u00f6d tutvustada ning saada uusi kontakte teiste organisatsioonidega. Pikas perspektiivis avas osalemine sellel konverentsil uusi uksi, eriti t\u00e4nu sellele, et Wings for Wheelsi tunnustati nominatsiooniga \u201cSotsiaalne kampaania 2016\u201d.

\n\"Bankett\"<\/a>Teist aastat j\u00e4rjest t\u00e4histas Wings for Wheels rahvusvahelist puuetega inimeste p\u00e4eva banketiga, kutsudes L\u00e4ti Rahvusraamatukogu restorani 80 puuetega inimest, nende abilisi, s\u00f5pru ja perekonnaliikmeid. K\u00f5igil oli v\u00f5imalus k\u00e4ia giidiga tasuta ekskursioonil raamatukogus ning sellele j\u00e4rgnes imemaitsev \u00f5htus\u00f6\u00f6k. \u00d5htu j\u00e4tkus v\u00e4ikese kontserdiga, kus laulis Diana Ponaskova. Cesise Baptistikoguduse pastor Olegs Jermolajevs kutsus meid \u00fcles m\u00f5tlema advendiaja s\u00fcgava t\u00e4henduse \u00fcle. K\u00f5ik k\u00fclalised said meeldiva kingituse, mille olid kokku pannud meie sponsorid. Ait\u00e4h k\u00f5ikidele toetajatele ja eestpalvetajatele! Rohkem pilte saab n\u00e4ha siit.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Evelyni veebidisaini kursus Londonis<\/strong>
\n\"Evelyn<\/a>11.\u201318. detsembril v\u00f5ttis Evelyn YWAM London Urban Key meediamajas Wembleys osa veebidisaini praktikan\u00e4dalast. Praktika kestis kokku 6 n\u00e4dalat, kuid Evelyn liitus sellega vaid n\u00e4dalaks. Selle aja jooksul sai ta \u00f5ppida kasutama veebidisaini, et j\u00f5uda soovitud sihtgruppideni. Sellal kui teised t\u00f6\u00f6tasid Urban Key kodulehek\u00fcljega, juhendati Evelyni eraldi Riia YWAMi ning L\u00e4ti YWAMi kodulehek\u00fclgedega t\u00f6\u00f6tamisel. Ta \u00f5ppis tegema varundamist (backup), veebilehti uuendama ja t\u00f5rgetega tegelema ning sai n\u00f5u, kuidas disaini vallas edasi minna. N\u00e4dal oli intensiivne, kuid Evelynil oli aega ka \u00fcmbruskonnas jalutamas k\u00e4ia ning \u00fchel \u00f5htul k\u00fclastas ta talve v\u00f5lumaad Hyde Parkis. \"Apinis<\/a>V\u00e4lismaal olemine ja \u00fcksi reisimine oli ka v\u00e4ga vajalik puhkus igap\u00e4evarutiinist ning aitas v\u00e4rske pilguga n\u00e4ha misjonit\u00f6\u00f6 tulevikku. Kuigi Evelyn ei j\u00f5udnud Londoni YWAMi kogukonnas elada kaua, tundis ta end seal koduselt ning teretulnult. See oli Kaspari ja Rasmuse jaoks siiani pikim aeg kahekesi olla, kuid nad said ilusti hakkama.
