Last Call - Alternative Spring Break in Vladimir, Russia (The American Home)

[Johnson, David Matthew]

ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK IN VLADIMIR, RUSSIA, MARCH 2014



The American Home in Vladimir, Russia, is sponsoring two Alternative Spring Break (ASB) opportunities in March 2014 (www.serendipity-russia.com/edex.html<http://www.serendipity-russia.com/edex.html>).  The final application deadline is November 1, 2013.


“My first time in Russia had more of an impact on me than I could have possibly anticipated... the thing that probably has affected me most is not Moscow, not Red Square..., but Vladimir and the things I experienced there. I felt more alive there than I have ever felt before.” (Adam Treml, ASB participant)


VLADIMIR: Work with community organizations, for example, Karl Liebnicht Orphanage, restoration of a Russian Orthodox Church, Handicapped Children's Association “Light”; work together with Russian university students, experience the delight and wonder of provincial Russia.


MUROM: Help university students improve their English language skills. During the Soviet period Murom was a closed city. Today it remains isolated from traditional tourist routes.
