The second week of learning Russian starts today. On Saturday the boys and the girls visited Kizhi Island. They liked the amazing “Karelian Pearl” very much. It is one of the most favorite excursions for our students, and they enjoyed the beauty of the architectural ensemble a lot. Besides, three students from Estonia came to us this weekend, and today they will have their first classes at the “Enjoy Russian” language school.

As for excursions, Kizhi, the art museum, and Kivach were the best! All volunteers were ready to help and give up from their free time. So, everything was done properly and professionally.”
