-
Public Charitable Foundation "Kovcheg" (�.Borisova)
-
Charitable Foundation "Messia" (D.Maryashova)
-
Club of Acquaintances "Silver rain" (V.Mikhailov)
In our opinion these are the most active and creative organizations.
"Management of the Future" - is the young organization, initiators of its
creation were the students of Kazan high schools. They worked as independent
observers during government elections, they participated in development
of the state program "Youth of Tatarstan".
Mother Maria heads the Public Charitable Foundation "Kovcheg", she
is the chief of a department of Kazan eparchy. She has organized a club
of the scouts. The organization regularly organizes various competitions
for children, tourist trips and camp. The main task of organization is
the moral, spiritual and cultural education of youth as an opposition to
drugs and spiritual decay. "Kovcheg" is going to tell about their activity
on the pages of our server.
It became possible to establish contacts with new organizations due
to a workshop " The Participation of NGO in Legislative Processes", which
was held in the period March, 4 - April, 30. This workshop was devoted
to the problems of interaction between NGO and authority. It had an educational
character. The participants of the workshop have got acquainted with the
legal requirements in the process of bill introduction, with conditions
of initiation and lobbying of various laws and bills. The seminar was organized
by the CHARITIES AID FOUNDATION.
During mentioned workshop its participants got acquainted with the project
" Kazan Civic Networking ", the most part of the participants expressed
the desire to be involved to this project. Unfortunately, only some of
the organizations (listed above) have the real opportunity to take part
in the project. The majority of Kazan's NGO have no real material opportunities
to purchase computer technique. We suggested to use a service of free access
to Internet. Such services were opened in KAI and in Committee for Protection
of Human Rights in Tatarstan. Hitherto there were no such centers in Kazan
city. Also we have invited everyone to educational seminars, devoted to
using of Internet. The information about the project was sent to news agency
"Tatar-inform". The response was received from the author of a site "News
of Kazan" Glen Kazakov. Now we are negotiating for cooperation.
In March the visitors of our organization were: Danuta Przywara, the
secretary of Polish Helsinki Foundation Administration and Jerzy Swaton,
lawyer of this organization. They have noted the importance of this project,
its benefit for NGO. They have told about winter and summer human rights
schools in Warsaw. Now information about these schools, requirements for
participation, terms we shall publish at our server.
