Tomaro Island Medical Outreach

On October 24th the U.S. Consulate Medical Team and a group of volunteers from the Lagos medical community spent the afternoon doing service on Tomaro Island. Two boats transported about 40 of us to the Island and we were warmly welcomed. The volunteers raised almost $5,000 providing much needed medication to stock the Island's small clinic.

Russian letters that look like english letters but sound different. (These are the most important to learn so you don't get them mixed up.) В в - Pronounced like the "v" in "vet". (Equivalent to the english letter "v"). Е е - Pronounced like the "ye" in "yes". Н н - Pronounced like the "n" in "no". (Equivalent to the english letter "n"). Р р - Pronounced like the "r" in "run", but it is rolled. (Equivalent to the english letter "r"). С с - Pronounced like the "s" in "see". (Equivalent to the english letter "s"). (It might help to remember that it's used like the "s" sound in the english words "centre" and "cent".) У у - Pronounced like the "oo" in "boot" or "root". Х х - Pronounced like the "h" in "hello". However, this is often pronounced more like the "ch" in the Scottish "Loch" or German "Bach", or the mexican pronunciation of "x" in "Mexico".
