So many people have got in touch with me with questions after reading The Boy from Baby House 10 that I thought it was time to give the answers a wider publicity. I hope this blog will answer common concerns. If you want to get in touch with me directly, you can email me on alan@alanphilps.com and I will respond as quickly as I am able.
A father of five from Poland, Mr Wieslaw Zych, asks what he can do to help children in Vanya's position and what is being done in Britain, my home country.
The first place to look is the website of Action for Russia's Children (ARC), which was co-founded by my wife Sarah. Here is the link: www.actionarc.com. You can see what ARC does and how it operates.
ARC is an all-volunteer organisation so all donations go straight to independent Russian projects. No one takes a salary, and there is no office, so really the overheads are minimal. Among the projects it helps to fund are Centre for Curative Pedagogics in Moscow. Vanya/John visited the CCP, as is is recorded in the book. You can make a donation to ARC in pounds, euros or dollars. Many thanks - your donations are sorely needed.
