I am a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer working with an environmental non-governmental organization (NGO) in northern Kazakstan. The NGO, Naurzum, is dedicated to protecting Naurzum State Reserve, a 217,000 acre strict, scientific natural ara, one of eight such national reserves in Kazakstan. In order to better educate the local population surrounding the reserve, Naurzum is developing a youth environmental club named Eaglets.

One of the projects Eaglets wants to attempt is to maintain a "pen pal" relationship with a similar club, organization, classroom or school. I am looking for such interested youth who would like to share environmental ideas, problems and solutions with like-minded youth here. If you know of any organizations or schools with an environmental program for all ages that might be interested in such an international project, I would appreciate names, addresses and contacts for those interested parties.

The Eaglets are very interested in communicating with others interested in the environment; they have already given me a list of questions to ask of any group who wants to be their "pen pal'! I appreciate any information you can give me. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Andrea Seeley
