A Tour of Last Bell with Megan Flinn
Friends, we recently shared in our newsletter a note from Megan Flinn, who, along with Last Bell Chair Ellen Jackson and another volunteer, Rob Pallikan, recently visited Zhytomyr and took our staff on a three-day retreat.
Here are a few more photos from that trip. You can follow in the footsteps of Megan, Rob, Ellen, and Ellen’s son Max as they spend time with Last Bell staff and young people around the Zhytomyr area, Last Bell’s home.

Nastya Konsedailo, our newest staff member who works primarily with Educational Outreach, took a photo of everyone by the old rock. Ellen says, “The walking tour with Nastya and a few Shelter kids was 100% delightful.”
Kiril, one of the Shelter teens, and Nastya used translation apps on their phones so everyone could communicate.

The tour of the city led the group to this bridge, a local landmark.
The staff retreat was held at this lovely little resort east of Zhytomyr.
