Dear Colleagues!

My son is representing students from a college in Moscow, Russia that would 
like to communicate with your students.  He has been working in Russia for 
the last 4 years and would like to help them to better understand our country 
and for our students to better understand Russia.  

This is a home economics and teachers college with students aged 15-20.   
There are approximately 500 students, of which at least 200 are studying 
English.  The students are primarily girls.  

They would be interested in the following:
· E-mail contact and exchange of letters
· Possible video contact between the classrooms or photos so that they can 
see what American students do and so that the US students can see what 
Russian students do
· Student exchange with Russian students coming to the US and American 
students visiting Russia and staying with families
· Setting up a joint web site to transmit information about school, life, 
families, etc.
· Any other suggestions for communications and interactions between the 
students

The school is located near the 1905 Goda Metro Station in the city center of 
Moscow, the physical address being: Stoliarniy Way 16.  The school's director 
is Margarita Fedorovna Leontyeva, and the school IT director is Tatyana 
Alekseevna Shumihina.

Initially, we should have a letter of interest on your part that you would 
like your students to participate in the exchange of culture, friendship and 
learning.

Due to the crisis there his company has agreed to pick up the internet 
connection costs for the Russian College.  This is an excellent chance for 
our students to learn and possibly make lasting friendships with Russian 
students.

Please contact me ASAP, as he is here in the States for another two weeks and 
will be returning to Moscow about the 23rd of April.

Sincerely yours,


Irma Sewalk
