Children make cookies for the Meals on Wheels recipients

Saturday morning, June 8 at the UMC in Strumica, Macedonia, the children made "bombici" (no-bake cookies) for the 140 recipients of Meals on Wheels - about 700 cookies!  We worked hard, but we had fun, too.  These will be the dessert on Monday.  A little card attached to each bag has a message like "God loves you" or "God is always with us."  The children made and decorated the cards.

Grinding the nuts

Crushing the biscuits

Breaking up the chocolate











Forming the dough into little balls

Rolling the cookie balls in coconut, powdered sugar, etc.


Making cards for the packages




Beautiful cards

Trajce (in the yellow shirt) was a great help!

Finished packages - 5 cookies each
