Subject: seeking good orphanage contacts in Moscow
12/9/97
I am searching for some good orphanages in Moscow and the Moscow Region. I
work with returnees (alumni) of the Freedom Support Act Future Leaders
Exchange (FSAFLEX), a U.S. government-sponsored program which enables high
school students from the NIS to spend an academic year studying in a U.S.
high school and living with an American host family. As part of our
community service 'alumni activities' in Moscow, we sometimes invite
children from an orphanage or Internat to join us in our holiday
celebrations, and at other times we have gone to an orphanage to lead a
celebration or other activity with the children. Unfortunately, so far our
contacts at the orphanages have been less than helpful. We've had
orphanage administration that were unreliable (promised to attend our event
then never showed up or called the day before the planned activity to
cancel), others who were uninterested in our activities or not grateful for
the help we offered afterwards, and even some places who declined to
participate because the events would make such a big impression on the
children that they would have nightmares.
If anyone knows of an orphanage with a good administration that genuinely
cares about the welfare of its children, that is reliable when making
agreements, and that is interested in collaborating with a group of great
teenagers who want to give something to their community, please send me the
coordinates and contact information.
Thank you.

Nathan Cummings Foundation Grants Program
SPONSOR: Cummings (Nathan) Foundation
SYNOPSIS: The Nathan Cummings Foundation has five main program areas: the
arts, environment, health, Jewish life and interprogram. In all areas,
funding focuses on the poor, disadvantaged and underserved; the promotion
of understanding across cultures; respect for diversity; empowerment of
communities in need; and recognition of the importance of inner life and
spirtuality.

education programs that offer support for at-risk youth; to strengthen
culturally specific and community-based arts organizations; and to support
to work integrating the arts and health, environment or Jewish life.
Environment grants support the increase of environmentally sound
transportation options; economic and fiscal policies that reflect
environmental costs of economic behaviors; moral and spiritual resources
that address the underlying roots of the environmental crisis; and
environmental literacy, campus stewardship and student activism in higher
education. Grants for health promote care for pregnant women and children
under the age of six, particularly in low income communities and healthcare
that improves the quality of life at the end of life. The foundation's
Jewish life program makes grants to strengthen the capacity of the Jewish
community to teach, articulate and put into practice traditional and
contemporary forms of Jewish spirtual wisdom; for efforts that provide
Jewish spirtual resources to Jews who are ill, their families and their
caregivers; for educational and experiential approaches that make Jewish
life inviting to Jews who have intermarried, their partners and their
children; to improve Jewish education; for the development of social
justice organizations and the building of alliances between Jews and
non-Jews; and to strengthen relations with Jews in Israel, Russia and
Ukraine. Interprogram grants support the search for common ground among
diverse groups within the foundation's program interests; understanding the
religious and political movements on the right; efforts to develop a fair
and pluralistic vision of democracy, through innovative thinking and
experimental programs; and efforts to explore the benefits of contemplative
practice, including clinical research, and to raise public awareness.

Ukraine 42,268 149,845 16,695
Uzbekistan 4,917 40,763 4,301
This exercise clearly shows a discrepancy in the number of documents
accessed by each search engine. Hotbot seems to be the best by a great
margin.
