Three Fulbright Scholars from Ukraine/Russia Seek Housing in the DC Area

I was just alerted of this today. Three Fulbright scholars are looking for housing while they participate in the program. This would a great opportunity for citizen diplomats to extend a helping hand!

Here is a description of the scholars and what they are looking for:

I.) IHOR POSHYVAILO:

"In September, I'm coming to Washington, DC, as a Fulbright Scholar. I am 42, ethnologist, art historian, have family, live and work in Kyiv as a deputy director of the National Center of Folk Culture 'Ivan Honchar Museum' and a chairman of the Kyiv branch of the National Union of Folk Art Masters of Ukraine.

"I'm affiliated with the Smithsonian Center for Folklore and Cultural Heritage and my project title is 'Interpreting Cultural Heritage in Museums: An American Experience for Ukrainian Practice.'

"I'm seeking housing for eight months from September 2009 till June 2010. I'm a non-smoker and quiet. In the US, I will stay alone. I need modest housing for a moderate price. My office will be near the Mall."

"I'm looking for a one bedroom apartment (or comparable accommodation) in Washington, DC or vicinity for six months commencing from September 1, 2009.

"I am coming with my wife (Ukrainian philologist) and 10-year daughter, so I need a one-bedroom apartment, not just a room. It should be furnished and preferably within the boundary of an elementary school with a good reputation."
