This is not a language/lit issue below, but I thought I'd forward the
message to the SEELANGS list in case anyone "out there" has a contact for
this person.  I hope no one objects to this....

          Are there groups or individuals working on childcare and
          child welfare issues in Russia and other countries of the NIS?

          I work for a nonprofit agency in Los Angeles.  We are an
          "umbrella agency" mainly for children's daycare programs in
          the greater Los Angeles area.  We are funded by federal,
          state, and county government.  Our work includes needs
          assessments, planning, advocacy, and administering programs
          as the intermediary between funding sources and day care
          providers in child nutrition, referrals, subsidies for
          low and middle income families, respite care for families in
          temporary crisis.  We are already very multicultural in
          terms of different groups in Los Angeles, but have little
          contact with people doing work like this in the NIS and
          other countries.

          I have spent some time in Russia adopting a child who was
          living in a children's home there, so I have some direct
          experience with this, but I would like to have more ongoing
          interchange with other professionals in my field in the NIS.

          Please respond to me at the e-mail address below.
