CHILD SITTING SERVICES

My name is Ekaterina Salata. I am a 25 year old mother of one. I live in the Anderson Mill Area. I am seeking to watch children in my home. I am available Sunday thru Saturday, in the morning, day, evening.

I am willing to care for children aged 5 and above. I speak fluent Russian and English. I would love to converse in the Russian language with your children.

I would charge the industry rate of $10 per hour for the first child then $15 for two.

My contact phone number is cell-512-755-5486 and home 512-394-6298. My email address is msalata@austin.rr.com.

RUSSIAN SPEAKERS NEEDED

I am a student at Texas Tech University studying Russian language and there are no summer courses offered at TTU.

I would like to keep up and possibly expand my Russian speaking, reading and writing and was wondering if you
knew anyone who would want to communicate in Russian over the summer.

I am located in Lubbock but can call or write or speak online via Skype.

Sincerely

Chris McCurry

AMERICAN COUNCILS FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION: ACTR/ACCELS

AMERICAN COUNCILS FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION: ACTR/ACCELS

Dear Colleagues and Friends of International Exchange,

Help contribute to a peaceful world and mutual understanding by housing or helping host an international student.

The American Councils for International Education, a non-profit organization committed to international education in the countries of Russia and Eurasia, is looking for interested families as well as coordinators to facilitate and host foreign exchange students in the U.S. for the 2007-08 school year. These students have undergone a competitive process to earn the right to represent their countries in these programs. Each student speaks English and is eager to learn about American Culture. These one-year scholarship-based programs funded by the US State Department to encourage learning and understanding between Americans and people from Eurasia, include a monthly stipend, incidental funds and medical insurance.

• Future Leaders Exchange Program (FLEX) for students from Russia and Eurasia
• Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES) for students from Afghanistan
• American Serbia and Montenegro Leadership Exchange (A-SMYLE)

WE ARE LOOKING FOR COORDINATORS willing to facilitate the student’s stay in the host family, helping them adapt to the American schools, as well as maintaining contact with the American Councils about the progress of the student.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR HOST FAMILIES willing to provide students with a loving and supportive environment, a place to sleep (sharing a room is okay), meals and snacks, and a quiet place to study. All types of families, in which English is the primary language used at home, are welcomed including those with teenagers or younger children in
at home, retirees, "empty nesters," and single parent families.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR YOU
• Partake in historic programs sponsored by our government.
• Share our culture with people from other countries.
• Break stereotypes and create positive impressions about America.
• Learn about cultures of the world on a personal level.

More information on the programs can be found at www.americancouncils.org. If interested, please contact us at taratynova@americancouncils.org or by phone: (202) 833 7522.

Yours in peace and mutual understanding,
