Summer, 2014
Dear friends of Russian Jewish Community Foundation
It's been six months already since my last letter to you, and much have happened during this period of time.
So, this is my 3rd semester of my degree, out of 8. As of now, my average stands at 91.4 but I still have a few exams a head, and hopefully it will stay at that level. The studies are quite hard but going well, thanks to the support that I receive from you guy's, it is easier for me to keep concentrate on my studies. Without it, I would not be able to keep my average above the 90's.
At the "latet" program in which I take part as part of the "IMPACT!" scholarship, things are going very well, it has been a very special time for me and I enjoyed it very much. Also in last Hanuckka I carried out an activity for the elderly.
I am also happy to report to you that my friends, formed band together, and it is great because I love playing music with them.
My family and girlfriend are fine, and I hope that everything will stay nice and easy.
I hope that your families and community are doing well, and that you are having a good and healthy year so far.
Again, thank you very much for you generous efforts!
Have a nice and cool summer.
Yours, Nikolay Starkov
