Pokrov is a small town about an hour and a half to three hours North East of Moscow, depending on traffic. It's about an hour from Vladimir and the famous Golden Ring.
The town is about 16,000 people. It's on the highway to Vladimir, and large enough that there is a traffic light, but only one that I can remember. Shopping options are slim, but the orphanage houses about 65 kids right now. A number of kids who have left the orphanage live in the area. Some attend a college down the street. Most move to Vladimir to attend technical schools there.
We try and Children's HopeChest tried to keep in touch with them when they leave.
There is a ministry center in Vladimir where orphans can hang out when they aren't in classes.
We often visit the ministry center when we are in Russia.
We'll likely not go to Vladimir this trip, but will spend our whole time in Pokrov.
