Got an invitation from US Ambassador!

The only pity is that I'm going to be in Cyprus on these days... Hope Donetsk residents will enjoy American culture! 

Also hope His Excellency and His wife will feel at least some Aloha Spirit in Donetsk! :)

Just received the LFP Outbound Project Award Notification!

Yesterday got the news that the US Embassy in Kyiv authorized the Alumni Resource Center to support my Center's initiative to conduct an essay competition on the Bill of Rights, and today got the news from LFP!

The project's title is "Empowering Citizens, Strengthening Communities: Civil rights and local democracy in Ukraine"

Dustin Hoffman and other famous Ukrainians. New Exodus post-2012?

During the PDO, the 3 fellows were taken on a tour of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, and shown the gallery of photos of famous Americans with Ukrainian roots.

Oleksandra Iegorova, Cultural Affairs Assistant, who was hosting us at the Embassy, told that this gallery was their favourite exhibition.

LFP-2012 Pre-departure Orientation took place in Kyiv

Took part in the PDO for Ukrainian participants of the Legislative Fellows Program - Fall 2012.

First day of the PDO took place in the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv (hence no photos), where we met with the American Councils' Country Director Yarema Bachynsky and Assistant Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy Arthur T. Evans.
