I see an awful lot of messages on here related to people who cant get in

you all know about a site that economically sends telegrams in the former 
CIS.

I don't have any commercial interest in the site, but, I've used it once
about a year ago and everything went through on time.

Have fun.

Greetings to all

Since 1992 I have been taking friends and acquaintances with me for specially
arranged tours in Russia and Ukraine. I am retired Russian history teacher.
Last summer I joined a tour arranged annually by International Fine Arts
Institute in Milwaukee that takes American musical groups for 2 weeks on Volga
giving concerts for Russian Ministry of Culture. In addition we had private
tour of Moscow and St Petersburg for 7 more days. This was so fine an
experience to see Russia that I have been asked by other friends to repeat.
The tour will be 1-22 July departing and returning from Washington DC. but of
course participants can fly from any other city. Anyone interested please
contact me at johns426@aol.com

Anyone interested in Russia and especially Russian history might like to look
at the web site http://members.aol.com/johns426/xenophon.htm  at which photos
from previous trips and much text on Russian history are being presented.

very best wishes

Subject: Seek Russian Speaking Correspondent


I would like to correspond with someone in Russia or the Ukraine who is 
close to my age and shares my interests.  I am 64 years old and a retired 
administrator (Registrar) from a college/university.  I am interested in 
reading (mostly fiction), writing fiction, religion (I have an unusual 
background in religion: Presbyterian and Unitarian), music (I sing in a 
church choir), tennis, golf, computers, and photography.

I studied Russian in college and the army but have forgotten most of it; 
although, I have been studying on my own since 1991.  When I can afford it, 
I would like to travel to Russia and the Ukraine and study for a month or 
more, or work there as a volunteer for several months.

I look forward to hearing from someone.

You can find information on IREX's Internet Access and Training Program 
(IATP) at http://www.irex.org/programs/iatp/index.htm with the listing of 
public access sites in Russia at

Hope this helps!

Friends of mine used to have a large black dog called Malish [little one] 
because he was given to them as a puppy with the words 'you can have the 
little one if you like' and then he grew.  He only understood Russian which 
resulted in my once,when baby and dog-sitting, being left instructions that 
if Malish showed any desire to run down the garden path to threaten a 
passing dog i shoul shout at the top of my voice, 'Malish, nilzya huff huff 
huff'.  It worked but I can tell you that one feels very silly on an 
English housing estate under these circumstances.  My own collie at the 
time was bilingual as she copied all Malish's commands.  A friend who went 
on a trip to Moscow arrived there and,trying to summon some words of 
Russian, realised that all she could say was, 'Dai lapu' give me a paw.  
She felt it better not to approach Muscovites in this fashion for fear of 
being seen as a lunatic.  Daf [web page- www.meirionnydd.force9.co.uk]

________________________________________

The Development Forum (http://www.worldbank.org/devforum/) is a public 
venue for online discussions on development issues sponsored by the World 
Bank and its partners on behalf of the entire development community.  Its 
focal point is a series of new and ongoing moderated electronic discussions 
on key issues and challenges facing the development community and the 
world's poor, with a particular emphasis on learning from the experience of 
those who face these challenges in their daily lives.

Discussions in the Development Forum are open to participants from around 
the world.  In order to assure that those with limited Internet access can 
participate, these dialogues are conducted by means of moderated email 
lists, archived to the Development Forum website.  Participants with web 
access, however, will be able to send or reply to messages using the 
website.

We are pleased to announce that the following online discussions will be 
launched on February 1, 1999 (the discussions will last between two and 
three months).

* Attacking Poverty (WDR2001)
This list invites the public, for the first time, to contribute its 
knowledge, experiences, and questions to the World Development Report 
2000/01 on poverty, which is currently in the early stages of preparation.  
The report outline will be available in English, Spanish, and French on the 
Forum website and participants will be able to send messages in all three 
languages.

* Les conséquences de la maternité précoce sur l'éducation des filles
(EDUC-FILLES)
Co-sponsored by l?AUPELF-UREF (Agence francophone pour l?enseignement 
supérieur et la recherche) This list, in French, will examine the related 
issues of pregnancy and education among teenage girls, particularly in 
Africa.

* Knowledge and Information for Development (IKD)
Co-sponsored by the Panos Institute London
This list will discuss the role of information and knowledge as tools of 
sustainable development, and the challenges facing developing countries in 
seeking to join the global information economy.  It takes as its point of 
departure the recent World Bank World Development Report on Knowledge for 
Development and the series of Panos Institute articles responding to that 
Report.

* Gender and Law (GENDER-LAW)
This list will examine what the World Bank's role should be in the 
important legal issues affecting women in developing countries and attempt 
to improve understanding of how the law can be used to improve gender 
equity.

Although these discussions will not begin until February 1, we invite you 
to subscribe now to any or all of these lists.  All you need is an email 
account.

Thanks to F&P's e-mail listings, I've acquired and developed two very close

in one case it has resulted in a homestay last summer with the 
correspondent and family 'way out in Novosibirsk !

In the other case, I doubt we'll ever meet in person, but I'm currently 
reading and critiqueing her book, which is coming in page by page via

summer has been severely affected by the recent economic troubles. I would
like to help them out by sending them some money, around a couple hundred
dollars, but I don't want to risk sending cash through the mail. I would
greatly appreciate if you could advise me how to do this.

                        Thanks and aloha,
                        Lee Catterall
