I am forwarding this to the FML with permission from the poster.  The young
lady is an ardent animal lover and is looking for a chance to visit others
animal overs outside of her homeland.  Please reply directly to Elena if
you can provide this opportunity.

>Dear Sirs,

>I would like to ask for your help in the following matter.  My daughter
>Polina is fond of animals.  She has been a great animal fan since 3 years
>old.  For the past few years she has been taking care of horses, dogs and
>other animals at Moscow Animal Theatre, Homeless Pet Care Society and at
>the Moscow Zoo.
>
>At the present moment I am in the search of a place abroad where Polina
>can stay during the summer for about 1 or 2 months working as a volunteer
>taking care of the animals and studying them.  I expect her future
>profession to be the one of a zoologist, biologist or a vet.
>
>As we do not own any country house outside Moscow and have to stay here in
>Moscow all year round it would be great if it were a place somewhere in
>the country outside big cities and towns.  I can accompany my daughter and
>do any types of household and kitchen work.  As we cannot pay too much for
>the stay we are ready to work as many hours as necessary to cover some
>expenses.
>
>The only problem is that Polina is 13 years old.  But I can assure you she
>is a very responsible person.
>
>Please be so kind to suggest the organizations which may help us in this
>matter with practical advice and assistance and if it is possible please
>send this email to someone who you think can help us.
