youngsters recruiting will be treated by elders  community members
like age discrimination increasing their discomfort in projects (like
Ukrainian) where they are in dramatic minority (that is their
percentage is much less than in country population)? I mean they could
decrease their contribution if not leave project instead of
evangelisation among friends and colleagues.  And what I'm saying is
not just my guesswork - I know many cases of such elders decisions.
