Our Projects

Day of Slavic Literature and Art

Today,  April 24, 2016, in the Multnomah County Library we had a great turnout for a day of Slavic literature and art.

Participants, Russian speaking families as well as their English speaking friends and classmates, came to present poems, songs, and other artistic expressions. As the Slavic community assimilates into their new country, it’s always important to remember the roots and preserve the heritage by sharing it with the community.
