"You
should be aware that there have been numerous reports
of intimidation and abuse of volunteers who have participated
in the teaching program run by SV Travel, in Izhevsk,
Russia, which is advertised on your site. The responsible
thing to do would be to pull the advert for this program.
Reports of this are cropping up on other bulletin boards
where this program is publicised."

"Thank
you for writing me about this message. The fact is that
it is not the first such a message about our site and
about our volunteering program. Somebody finds sites with
our advertisement and put there messages like that one
you've sent to me.
Go
to Lonely
Planet Discussion Board. I've put there our message
about teaching program in Izhevsk, Russia. You can see
what happened. I thing that that is the work of the same
people that have written to your site. They are trying
to assure people in something what is not true. You'll
also be able to see messages from vbykov, this person
(Vladimir Bykov) is our Director General.
Our
site (http://www.sv-agency.udm.ru) has a very good
world rating between Russian Travel sites (try 'Russian
travel agency' at some search engine) and somebody
doesn't like it. And I thing there are not so many program
as we have. We offer a great opportunity for
people to experience Russia as it is in reality.
I'm
working at Svezhy Veter Travel Agency since it's
beginning and I know all of volunteers myself and it's
not
possible that someone from them could write it. You can
read their stories about the life they spent in Izhevsk
on our page http://www.sv-agency.udm.ru/svfiles/ourvol.htm
You can write to them and ask their opinion. Currently
there are 6 volunteers in Izhevsk and it will be more
in summer. Some of them returned to Izhevsk after their
first visit.
Please,
if you have some question I'll answer all of them.
Someone is trying to destroy that what was being built
by
other people, probably because they will never be able
to
do the same themselves.
Thank
you for listening to me.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best
regards,
Julia Islamova"
