The Linderman family, Dr Charles and Maria, and their children George, Anthony, Joanna, Adrian, and Melania, left for Albania in June, 2000. Dr Charles performs charitable surgery in a clinic run by the Albanian Orthodox Church. Maria organized and operates the Children's Home of Hope, a foster home providing care to over thirty children, ages 2 to 14.

The Lindermans work under the auspices of the Orthodox Christian Missions Center. You can read more about their work, and see pictures of it, on the OCMC website and on their own website.
