Hospital.

We offer our clients to spend some time working as volunteers at one of the St. Petersburg hospitals after your Russian lessons. This is quite a usual and ordinary state hospital for people suffering from different diseases. There are two main departments in the hospital: Therapy and Surgical. According to our program volunteers will help people staying at the Therapy department of the hospital. After the lessons our volunteers will act as ordinary nurses and work hand-to-hand with the Russian personnel of the department. Together with their Russian colleagues our volunteers will do their best to bring sick people back to normal life. This is really hard but noble job.

Generally you will spend 2-8 hours per week in the hospital, according your desire and timetable.

The volunteer work will be organized after your Russian lessons – after lunch time.
