Dear friends,
Our team has returned from trip to the center of out country. Our destination was the city of Perm (one of 12 largest cities of Russia). Our volunteers travelled more than 2500 kilometers (1,553 miles). Through 2 time zones to make 4 exhibitions against abortions and to meet more than 5,000 students.

«Your exhibition works - 100%! » - said one of the school deans.

The exhibition was a theme №1 for conversations of youth and has provoked set of discussions at youth forums and blogs. One professor has cancelled the lecture and has asked the head of our group to lead{carry out} an open lesson for students and other teachers. Universities broadcast our advertising rollers on TV to channels.

Twenty year old girl "The exhibition has affected me very much. It is awful."

Twenty year old male "Earlier I supported abortions, now after the seeing these photos, I am against any abortions."

Twenty one year old female "The exhibition has strongly affected me. Now I am even more against this violent act. It is awful, it is necessary to forbid abortions."

Fifty one year old woman "The exhibition has strongly affected me. I had a hard time watching to the end. I have grandsons, but there were also abortions, and now I ask God forgiveness. "

The local government was very cautious. They expected aggression on the part of students. Therefore we paid for the police to control the area. But, except for several faints we had no any aggressive behavior. The group of young people seriously was frightened, that due to an exhibition they will stay without sex. They have been shocked to changes in thinking of girls. Representatives of the government have seen mature and thoughtful reflection of people and have been pleasantly surprised with effect of an exhibition and quality of work of volunteers.

One of exhibitions was in city centre on a brisk crossroads. We saw as especially the public transport stopped. Many machines went more slowly that drivers and passengers could see banners. Casual passers-by stopped by to look at photos. All had very deep experiences.

We were the focus of the local media. We have surprisingly benevolent both correct TV of news and press with correct understanding. Our volunteers had set of personal consultations. Among a snow and at minus temperature they had to speak for a long time with students who wanted to receive answers. Many times within day they formed small groups and took them around the exhibit, explaining our position, and then answered personal questions. Interest was huge.

To all volunteers one girl by name Lena was remembered. She looked an exhibition, then called all her girlfriends and took pictures with her cell phone friends. She met each friend and personally made comments on all photos. She has finished day having invited the boyfriend and his friends.

We have set of responses about exhibitions on our site www.abortu.net our operator has made many interview and will mount in the near future new film.

Menacing speed from which Russia loses the citizens causes in us the big anxiety. On official statistics we make 1.7 million abortions annually. But for understanding of true scales of horror experts suggest to increase this figure in 3-4 times.

We constantly search for the most effective ways of change public opinions to stop murder of children. This time we for the first time have tested some variants of work new to us:

1. We have carried out big press conference in conducting Russian news agency (Interfax) for representatives of local and national mass-media.

2. We had a lot of printed advertising, and also ethers on radio and TV to inform on exhibitions and to inform a phone number of a hot line.

3. Work 24 hour hot lines with professional psychologists where everyone who required personal consultation could call has been organized. (It is our first step to the center of crisis pregnancy).

4. Constant watch of police at an exhibition.

5. Training and preparation of the big group of volunteers.

Please, pray for us. We have the big plans and we require your support.

Yours faithfully,

Vadim Zharov
