anyone heard of/visited Kitezh? I found it on the web about a year ago and am planning to go there in April next year. It's a small community set up for foster families to take children in; an alternative to the appaling state-run orphanages.

Also found it on lonely planet site - it was listed as one of the top volunteering holidays in Europe! http://www.lonelyplanet.com/journeys/feature/volunteering06.cfm

There's some info available on the web but if anyone's actually been there and could tell me something more about it I'd love to hear from them.
Thanks

I've never heard of it before, but it sounds like an amazing thing to do!

I think you may just have completely changed my summer plans!
