Meet the Team

“Love’s Bridge” projects are realized in partnership with "Zashita", a Russian charity organization. This partnership was started in cooperation between members of 'Zashita" and volunteers from various countries, dedicated to caring for and improving the living conditions of orphaned and homeless children in Russia.

Local mangement: Elizabeth Wasserman, Hamish Heald, Hannah-Louise Mobbs and Svetlana Kozlova.

US management: Jered Markoff (President), Michael Greenberg (Vice-president), Christina Greenberg (Treasurer), Benjamin Knaupp (Chief Counsel)

Board of directors: Anne Slack-Hearn, Benjamin Knaupp, Christina Greenberg, Dermot Brannick, Jered Markoff, Michael Greenberg, Stanley Budarz
