 ●      Starting Project “Artek in Altay” : Ayudajonok travels around Russia with the help of Russian volunteers and supports the project "Artek in Altay" dedicated to the 85th anniversary of Artek and 65th anniversary of Victory in WWII. He is following the map at http://altai.suuk.su/. Ayudajonok was very active at Artek International Festivals -2009-10) where he helped to establish the Youth League of Nations, met friends from different countries, made new ones, including boys and girls from Russia, But we have to admit: during our Summer 2010 trips not much attention was paid to our mascot Ayudajonok: while catching planes and trains, running to meetings and conferences, we kept forgetting and leaving him alone in the suitcase :-) but right now he is having a blast in Russia: going from city to city he meets with children at schools where he learns about history of Artek, WWII, and why Peace, Friendship, and Tolerance is so important, and what can be done to Change the World for the Better..
