The Aunt of Mironova

For all those that were in Pesach camp, this might just be a familiar face (the cook). Well it’s about time you learn her real line of work. This lady really deserves a lot of credit.

“The Aunt of Mironova” is not just a title. Totya Valya is a very hard working individual, who spends all her time caring for the boys and tending to their needs. The moment they wake up and hear her gentle and pleasing “good morning,” the boys are ready for a new day. To prepare fifty boys for school in the morning is not easy. But looking at her, you’d never notice it. By her it’s all with a smile - smiles all around. Let’s not forget that last night till three in the morning she was washing their laundry and ironing their shirts. The boys are going to look good and she will make sure of it. Shoes are polished and teeth are brushed - these are all of important concern.

“What” or “how” is not of importance to her. If it has to get done than she will do it. There is more to this aunt then just the regular Vospitatel. She cares for every one of the boys as if they were her own, making sure they are happy in school and have good friends. She is concerned by how they feel from the moment they wake up, till they go to sleep at night. Nothing is too much for the Rebbe's children.

Thank you very much Totya Valya. We really appreciate the way you are helping us with our Shlichus and we wish you many more years and much success in all your work.
