Hello all! I am interested in organizations that take volunteers in
Moscow. I will be taking a group of American college students to Moscow
very soon, and one way for them to practice their Russian is to do
volunteer work.
If anyone has any information about any such organizations (soup kitchens,
park clean ups, humanitarian aid, etc), please let me know how to contact
them.
Thanks,
Erik

Subject: Democracy consultant
I am affiliated with the Israel Democracy Institute in Jerusalem, Israel.
The Israel Democracy Institute is a public policy research organization
dedicated to improving the functioning of Israel's democratic system (the
Web site is www.idi.org.il). As a result, I have access to an extensive
library of materials related to various aspects of democracy and
democratization. If you are affiliated with a public policy research
organization in any of the states of the former Soviet Union concerned with
democracy, and would like to receive consulting services in the form of
research or just plain advice on issues related to democracy and/or
dcemocratization, please get in touch with me. My CV can be accessed at:
www.technion.ac.il/technion/aliyah/olim/chatan.html. Also, I am fluent in
Russian, so I can provide these services in Russian.

Subject: Russian exchange student
My first message to this website was to ask for information on the town to
which we were travelling this past January to adopt two preschool-age
children (and received some wonderful responses!). Apparently we couldn't
get enough of our new Russian connection, as we are now going to host a
15-year-old Russian student for three weeks. I saw a couple of messages
tonight from others who are also hosting Russian exchange students this
summer, and it gave me the idea to ask for assistance in making their stay
more productive and enjoyable. This is kind of last-minute, as I know it
takes a while for a message to be posted, but in case it's not TOO late, I
would appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Subject: Elementary Schools
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help. We will be moving to Moscow
in July/Aug and I have 2 children (8 and 6) who we would like to go to
school in Moscow. I understand the British/Embassy schools are very
expensive. Could someone help w/ the names/phone/info of private Russian
schools. Does anyone know if they accept children that DO NOT speak
Russian? Do they have some sort of ESL program? Any help would be
appreciated. please respond to: lupe@comlynx.com Thank you. L.Lopatinsky

Subject: Moscow Move
Hello,
I have just a few more questions if anyone
can help. We are going to Moscow for a year.
1. Are there any consumer goods we should consider
bringing in bulk that are hard to find over there.
Pampers, coffee, toothpaste????
2. Is the water safe to drink in Moscow? Is there any way
of obtaining organic/natural foods? especially milk.
3. How should we go about finding an apartment in Moscow?
Any recommended agencies? English-speaking areas of Moscow
that we could search for?
4. Is there any illness or health problem in Moscow that
we should vaccinate the children against or be aware of?
5. We hear everything is very expensive should we bring our
own kitechen equipment, pillows, sheets, etc. or is can we
just get those over there? How furnished is a "furnished apt."?
Any comments or suggestions to prepare us for this trip would be
appreciated. Please respond to: lupe@comlynx.com Thank you very much!

Subject: Living in Russia Today
Greetings,
Last month, I posted this letter and received many replies. If any
subscriber missed the posting and wishes to receive a free copy of this
newspaper, just let us know.
I am a video producer from Santa Barbara. In July, our firm is releasing a
30-minute program entitled, "Living in Russia Today." It is the first
volume in a series to be distributed to American high schools and
universities for classroom instruction.
The program was shot in Russia and is designed as a candid portrait of real
life in the new Russia. The video features interviews with many Russians
who reveal how they feel about their leaders...family
life...crime...Americans...the future...their new democracy...etc.
We have published an eight-page newspaper which accompanies the video. The
paper includes interviews, Internet resources, excerpts from the video and
travel information. If any subscribers to this list wish to have us send a
free copy of the newspaper to you, we will be happy to do it. Email us
your snail mail address, and we'll send the paper to you.
Sincerely.
Richard Lambert President, The Idea Bank videos@impulse.net
