We are now seeking volunteers interested in participating in the 14th annual summer camp for the benefit of the children in the Belskoye Ustye orphanage in the Pskov region of Russia.

One of last years volunteers says...

What was my Russian experience like? I encountered Russian bureaucracy and managed not to lose my mind, which was hard. I killed thousands of mosquitoes and horseflies but I think they won anyway. I spent a month in one of the most beautiful countrysides I've ever seen, I went swimming with cows, I climbed roof of a church, I spent a day with Russian priests drinking vodka and feasting on their delicious food, I met wonderful and inspiring people from all over the world and I improved my Russian a lot.

Many people might find working in the ROOF summer camp hard and hard it is. The job we were given took a lot from all of us. It's a job you need to put whole of yourself to do it well, because if you don't it's not satisfying either for you or for the children and giving yourself is one of the hardest things. But the point is that the more you give the more you get because at the end of the day it doesn't matter how tired and mosquito bitten you are, you know that you have done something really good for someone else.
