U.S. Supports Dormitory for At-risk Teenagers

Deputy Principal Officer Allen Greenberg gave remarks on February 2nd at the opening ceremony for a dormitory for at-risk teenagers and later sat down for tea with a number of the dormitory’s clients. St. Petersburg Vice-Governor Ludmila Kostkina, the Head of Kalininskiy District of St. Petersburg Mikhail Safonov, and officials from USAID, also took part in the ceremony. The new facility, which is funded in part by USAID, houses seven teens as well as an adult chaperone. According to the operators, NGOs Doctors of the World and Doctors to Children, the facility will give these children a place to live and learn responsibility while they get back into their schooling or enter the workplace.
