Bright Connections is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that works with orphanages in the Kirov region of Russia. The organization was formed to show Russian orphans the brighter side of life. Bright Connections believes that it is easier for these orphans to see the bright side when their stomachs are full; they have a warm new jacket, or when they finally have their very own pen to write with. Bright Connections knows that the little things in life can make a huge difference. Beyond improving the lives of the children in the orphanage, it is important to us to guide them towards a bright future. We do this through our mentor program, which help them decide how they would like to spend their future. The success rate of orphans once they leave their orphanages is staggering; statistics estimate 40 percent end up in prison and 30 percent become alcoholics. Bright Connections plans to make a dent in reversing this dreadful cycle. In addition to our work directly with the orphanages, Bright Connections provides a platform for young Americans and Russians to connect and communicate so that they can learn more about the others culture and understand just how small this world really is. We are currently looking for volunteers from all over the world, please check our website for more information:www.brightconnectionsinternational.org Sincerely,The Bright Connections Team
