Today (20 November 2007) I attended a meeting of Rotary club. Svetlana Akishkina told about her Open World trip to Alaska. I saw many photos of Homer, Health Fair.

On last Saturday we organized a mini Health Fair in orphanage. We brought pig lungs, an organ vest, a baby and alcoholic glasses. Children were impressed! Some of them smoke and already tried strong alcohol while they are just 13 years old!

This orphanage is situated 30 km from Moscow in a small town Korolev. There are 32 children. Half of them do not have parents and the rest are from needy families where parents are alcoholics, or there is only mother with many children (one mother has 10 children!).

(Ed: Health Fairs make a difference!)
