Dear Colleagues!
We are happy to announce the opening of our virtual Resource Centre for
Gerontology NGOs--www.dobroedelo.ru/vrc.
This is the first professional internet resouce in Russia's gerontology NGO
sector.
The aim of the Centre is to provide a forum for the exchange of information
and educational material in this growing sector of civil society. The
development of these resources will allow the possibility of greater
communication and the sharing of information. Now the site already has an
online forum, a latest news section, and an electronic textbook on
Gerontology and Geriatrics. It is possible to subscribe to our mailing list.
The finance for this project was provided by the Mott foundation (USA).
Best wishes,
Eduard Karioukhin,
Gerontologist and Co-ordinator of the Resource Center,
Dobroe Delo ("Good Deed"), Moscow.
