Hello,

My name is Burak Gökhan AYAZ. I applied for an internship at AIESEC Russia, ENGEC-GUAP (which is one of the AIESEC organizations in St. Petersburg) in March 2011 and spend 200 dollars for paper work, 210 dollars for visa and 400 dollars for plane tickets. According to my contract, I should've been working at a summer camp with kids and my food, transportation and accomodation expenses were to be paid by ENGEC-GUAP.

I arrived in St. Petersburg in 11th of July (at this point I have to mention that nobody came to pick me up from the airport for two hours and they didn't answer my calls), went to a camp with my own means (paid 220 rubles for train ticket, even though transportation supposed to be paid by the organization). Spent five days there, completed my first shift and came back to city. Then on Monday, 18th of July, I had to be departing to a camp which I will be working but nobody contact me to give information on the issues like when will we depart, from where etc. Whenever I tried to contact people from AIESEC ENGEC-GUAP they kept ignoring my phone calls and e-mails. Now it's been 6 days and I'm paying for accomodation, food and transportation from my own pocket and I ran out of money. Still, when I demand from them to refund this money so I can survive here, they keep ignoring me.

In short, AIESEC Russia, St. Petersburg, ENGEC-GUAP didn't fulfill its part in our contract and imprisoned me in St. Petersburg, I'm living on my own expenses for 6 days, they do not contact me and ignore me whenever I try to contact them and now I ran out of money so I will be staying on the streets with two luggages with me.

And here is a copy of the invitation letter they sent me: http://www.sendspace.com/file/4fb6r1 Please note that they say "Our committee will provide him with means of supporting himself and accomodation" And they still refuse to refund, or maybe to say "they ignore my demands on refunding" would be more accurate.

Anyone from AIESEC who reads that compliment please contact me as soon as possible, I desperately need help. My e-mail address is bgokhanayaz[at]gmail.com
