18 October 2006
Today we received word that our agency has received their NGO! For those of you that don't what NGO is.....it stands for non-governmental organization. Starting this year Russia requires that all agencies working in Russia are accredited (which ours is) and has NGO status (Oct 18th is the "official" deadline). Fortunately for us, ours now has both!
We are still waiting to hear from our agency on news of a referral, but we are optomistic that they will be calling soon!
Happy Birthday to Lauren!
Have a great week!
