Hi to everyone who was longly anticipating news from Buryatia Summer School’ 2010!
Thiru and Kim left on 27th, even earlier than the rest, to head back to their motherland Malaysia after 6 years studying in Moscow and living in Russia. Pawel is back to Netherlands for his new job. Sakine is continuing her travels to Mongolia and China, and Lena was going to visit her grandmother in the town near Irkutsk. I am currently in Yengorboy, staying here after everyone left on 29th and having some rest after the School.
I will be posting some stories from the School in the nearest future as we had no time at all during the School. Second reason is that we had more or less regular access to internet only here
in Yengorboy. Here is one computer with Internet – nothing has changed. It is slow but still, and it bans automatically (because it is school computer for the school usage) Facebook, Youtube, even Google translator and many other websites )))
Meanwhile, please, watch some videos (as a starter) from beautiful Yengorboy which is all surrounded by green mountains and some few photos from its daily life.

Celebrating the beginning of the School 2010
Hi to all those who were helping much during the year since the Year 2009 and the first ever Volunteer School in Buryatia: all those who help at the place – administration of the village Mikhaylovka, school directors, host families (!), kids!! Thank You to all those who helped me and supported me (and still help and still support) in Moscow – Alexey, Zorik, Catherine, Irina, Natalya and all many more my friends around the world – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
We are now – my little team of free willing Volunteers – sitting in a 
Moscow cafe near this beautiful old Russian orthodox church and celebrating the beginning of the Buryatia Summer School 2010!
Me and Sakine met already in Berlin, a little before the School, and arrived to Moscow together this afternoon and tomorrow we fly to Irkutsk where we meet with Pawel who will fly there tonight after the football match from Vladivostok,
with Thiru and Kim who are at the moment enjoying the beauty of Olkhon island and Elena who is at the moment in Berlin doing an eco project will join us already in Mikhaylovka a little bit later.
We all – both who fly to Irkutsk and those who stay in Moscow, in Berlin a.o. – are very excited about the beginning of the School 2010!
Viel Glueck unв Erfolg zu uns, much luck and success to us (you are welcome to add your wish in your own language) and keep an eye on our new feature on the website – the BLOG of the BURYATIA SUMMER SCHOOL!!!
P.S. MAX, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR THE GIFTS AND DONATION TO THE SCHOOL (the story will be coming in the following posts). Keep an eye! :)
