A former Mennonite school in the former village of Rosental is in use today and is the
focus of a visit by cruise participants.
The former Chortitza Mädchenschule, built by the Mennonites in 1895.
The school puts on a program for the cruise passengers each year. We have the
opportunity to share school supplies that we brought. We brought a dozen or so boxes
of crayons, construction paper, and more to add to the gift from the Mennonites.
Ukrainian girls dressed up for the show.
A woefully outdated computer, really only capable of crude games. The school had no
PC at all, so the passengers contributed well over $1000, and a PC with printer was
purchased using contacts through our guides. We also visited a physics
classroom and an English classroom.
