From the feedback provided by the orphanage
and boarding school residents who took part
in the «Leader» camps (May — September 2012):
«Thank you very much! You helped me find my life purpose.
I learned how important it is to understand others, how
to be compassionate, and how to achieve my life goals».
Yevgeniy, 16 years old
«You are the best. I wish all of you good luck. I have come
to realize there is a lot I can do myself». Vlad, 15 years old
«I started to think seriously about what I want to do in my
life, what I need to learn in order to become a successful
human bring». Zhenya, 16 years old
«Now I know how to act when interviewing for a job. And
although I still have quite a bit to go until then, I already have
a clear idea of how I will go about it». Mira, 15 years old
«I am very grateful to everyone who has ended up here. All
of you, children and adults, are kind and nice people. If I
were Stanislavsky, I would have said: «I believe!» I believe
in your sincerity, in your kindness, in your advice and your
wishes. You all are creative and interesting people and it
is with a heavy heart that I am saying good-bye to you».
Sergey, 17 years old
Vika Yevdokimova, orphanage No.2, Moscow:
«I took part in all the training sessions and meetings that the New Eurasia Foundation held for
us. And every time, upon returning to my orphanage, I would tell my mates about the people I
had met and the new things I had learned. In addition to a great deal of very warm memories
that I cannot express in words, there is a great amount of knowledge in my head that I know
will be useful for me in my life and some of it I will be able to pass on to my children and
grandchildren».
Oleg Medvedev, orphanage No.48, Moscow:
«When I was first invited by the New Eurasia Foundation to take part in a training session I
expected some very boring psychology lessons and trivial entertainment. Instead I met an
organization that was able to use training sessions, workshops and a variety of exercises
to teach us to be helpful to each other, to work hard, and to work as a team. During the
out-of-town camp the Foundation and its partners managed to get even the most indifferent
of us interested in their activities. I understand why. This foundation works exclusively with
professionals that not only know how to approach young people, but they also conduct their
classes in a completely new and unusual format».
E. A. Lesina, pedagogue from orphanage No.17, Moscow:
«I express my most heartfelt gratitude to the New Eurasia Foundation for the work it has done
with our children as part of the project «Social adaptation of orphanage and boarding school
graduates in Moscow». It is a great joy to see our children work together, generate ideas,
acquire new friends among their peers and adults. They are not just amusing themselves, they
are growing as human beings, learn to communicate with each other, develop their life paths,
their most important social projects».

Thank you, everyone!”

Yuri Yefimov, professor of political science and sociology at the Stavropol State Agricultural University, doctor of political sciences,
member of the public board under the Authorized representative of the RF President in the North-Caucasian Federal District:
“The seminars available as part of the New Eurasia Foundation’s project “Mitigating ethnic conflicts by supporting collaboration between the governments and civil
society institutions in Northern Caucasus” are very useful because they enable their participants to understand the role and place of local self-governance in our lives.
A government that is closest to people is not always able to solve all their problems. There is a great need for the New Eurasia Foundation training seminars, especially
here in Northern Caucasus. There is a need in practical knowledge here, a need in practical application of theoretical knowledge in unique and challenging conditions”.

Training interdepartmental teams to act as regional services
providing socio-psychological support to migrants

conflict regions of Russia. It also helped design a series of training programs for
social workers and psychologists enabling them to provide socio-psychological
adaptation services to local populations, migrants, and refugees in post-conflict

implemented within three areas thereby creating a comprehensive system of social
support and legalization of migrants, coordinating the efforts of all participants of
the process of legalization of migrants, and stimulating international cooperation in
solution of migration-related problems. By establishing interdepartmental centers
for comprehensive support of migrants and refugees, putting together a database
of labour migrants, employment opportunities, and employers interested in hiring
foreign workers, the New Eurasia Foundation helped reduce social tension in a
number of Russian territories. These centers make sure that, before they even cross
the border, migrants know where they are headed and on what terms and conditions
and what sort of rules and procedures they must abide by upon arriving in Russia.
Employers, in turn, get access to requisite information about prospective workers
and understand the sequence of things they need to do in order to be able to employ
foreign workers legally.
