ORLANDO, Fla. - Anna Aleksandrova can't recall all the hours she has spent volunteering during the past four years.

She tutors students, judges middle-school science fairs and has spent her summers volunteering at the Orlando Science Center. As president of two service organizations, she sings Christmas carols at a retirement home and organizes parties for a Boys and Girls Club. But her favorite volunteer activity, she says, is returning to Teague Middle School in Altamonte Springs, Fla., to help the teachers who taught her English when she came here from Russia in seventh grade."
