Avis Andrews
is an RPCV, having served in Ukraine from 1999-2001. She was a business facilitator working at the Donetsk Regional League of Business and Professional Women, an NGO teaching women to start their own small and medium-sized businesses. Donetsk is in eastern Ukraine where the depressed mining economy has caused severe unemployment. Another program of the League was to disseminate information about the trafficking of women and domestic violence. As a secondary project, Avis helped organize and implement three 5k fun runs to promote youth against drugs. Avis has returned to her home town of Fremont, Nebraska where she has resumed her practice as an attorney.
