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.
