Special Projects

Serendipity is well known to the Vladimir region for its integrity and ability to get things done. In addition to our English and Russian programs, and customized tour services, Serendipity assists with - and often initiates - a wide range of projects. It is our contention that grassroots projects such as those presented here generally accomplish more than multimillion dollar exchanges that may lack the "human touch" and which often do not foster effective follow-through.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~Margaret Mead	Dr. Alexei Altonen Director of Special Projects The success of our many projects is a testament to Alexei's dedication and hard work. In addition to his responsibilities at the American Home, Alexei teaches English and Latin at Vladimir State Pedagogical University.
