Pomost International - American English and Culture Course in Rzeszow

POMOST INTERNATIONAL, a non-for-profit organization of people interested in learning about the life and culture of Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries and in sharing American life, language and culture with others, was founded in 1990 in Buffalo, New York, by Dr. Richard Sokolowski. Dr. Sokolowski, a native Pole and a career professor of modern languages, wanted to help Poles learn English. He organized a group of people of various ages and from many walks of life to serve as the first group of Buffalo volunteers. POMOST INTERNATIONAL members are all volunteers who pay annual membership dues, as well as, travel expenses to Rzeszow in July each year. Although the group received invitations from many parts of Poland, the decision was made to choose Rzeszów, Buffalo's Sister City. The first POMOST INTERNATIONAL Summer program in 1991 was very successful. Dr. Sokolowski devised our format of teaching the English through conversations and workshops on topics related to American life and culture. Since that first summer in 1991, there have been many new Americans and several hundred students from Rzeszow and other Eastern-European countries participating. Each program is unique.
