There is an excellent program for people such as yourself (with extensive experience in either a management or technical field) to aid the development in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. International Executive Service Corps places volunteer American executives in over 90 countries around the world. IESC maintains a database of over 14,000 retired executives that are matched for requests for assistance from overseas. A full description and contact information are available under the US-NIS Organizations Business section.

This seems to be a valuable resource, I was directed from the Lions Club listings and hope that other Lions clubs will find useful wats to use this service.

I am a graduate student of political science in Germany and I'm working on a thesis on the new geopolitics in Eurasia after 1991. I am very interested in NGO-development in the CIS since I've worked with a NGO in Azerbaijan in summer 1996.

I am a columnist at Turkiye Net, the only turkish magazine on the www which is only available on the Internet. I am writing weekly articles on the Turkic geopolitics.

I am planning a trip to Kremenchuk in the Ukraine this September (1997) and I would like to make contact on the Internet with someone who lives there. I am interested in knowing what I should do on my arrival and how I can look into my father's background since he was born there.
