Center for Civil Society International has received a request for
assistance from Konrad Thomas Reinhardt, a Peace Corps Volunteer working
as an English teacher in School 11 in Artyom, a city 40 km from
Vladivostok in the Russian Far East. Please reply directly to him at
[email protected], or at his snail mail address: 692800 Primorski Krai,
Artyom-10, P. O. Box 20, Reinhardt, Konrad. He is only able to check his
e-mail once a week, however, because it is a two-hour trips to the
computer terminal.
The essence of his message is as follows:
Reinhardt has been granted a room at School # 11 and is in the process of
creating a resource center and also raising funds to purchase textbooks
for the school. Books that exist are dated and often unsuitable for
teaching. "Finding a Russian-English dictionary is an
impossibility...there is a great void in regards to English language
material."
What the resource center needs:
*Textbooks *Readers *Grammar books
*Posters/maps *Picture books *Activity books
*Standard dictionaries *Russian-English/English/Russian dictionaries
*Info about America: cities, states, people, landscapes, culture, etc.
Reinhardt's goal is to have the resource center stocked and functioning by
May 1998.
