Logan was a volunteer in the village of Lazo in Russia Far East from 1997 to 1998

Logan was a volunteer in the village of Lazo in Russia Far East from 1997 to 1998. As you might imagine, they have a short, warm growing season, followed by long, cold winters. Logan was a volunteer in the Non-Governmental Organization Development program, with a focus on helping local environmental groups develop. These pictures show some of his life as a volunteer. There is a picture of the inside of his house, with his wood stove. He had to collect and chop his own wood to heat his house and cook. There is also a picture of Logan in a type of shack, where he stayed when he was working with one of the environmental groups to count and identify tigers in this area next to a nature reserve in order to help with wildlife protection. In another picture, Logan is in the one and only school in Lazo. This school served as both a primary and secondary school. He taught some environmental education in this school. IN one project, he exchanged paintings of local endangered species between his Russian classes and some classes in U.S. schools. Lastly, there is a picture of Logan with some of his fellow volunteers during one of their in-service trainings.
