English through walking. Business and money. Contacts. Respect for faith and tradition.
New York is large, fast and often indifferent. In the first months after moving, the hard part is not “finding information” — it is understanding what you, specifically, should do, and whom to go to.
BASTA.NYC is a human contact and a clear bearing: to explain, to point, to connect, to give a direction. No slogans and no pathos — plainly and to the point.
One hour of conversation in a real situation: no “lessons”, no embarrassment, no exams.
How to start a business, where to look for funding, and how not to drown in everyday details.
Meeting people who are already here: work, mentors, a circle of people, a route that makes sense.
For many people faith is an important part of life. We treat that with care and help build ties between Christians of Belarus and the United States.
Dzmitry believes a language settles in not through a textbook, but in a situation where you have to speak — inside real life, not around it.
Starting a business in the United States is realistic, but it is easy to drown in terminology, “advice from the internet” and early mistakes. Here we try to speak plainly: what matters, what is secondary, and where people most often lose money and time.
We promise no “magic schemes” and we do not replace a lawyer or an accountant. Our value is clarity and direction.
This is not a commercial venture. We deliberately avoid the language of campaigns and fundraising. What matters to us is participation, trust, personal time and a long horizon.
The long horizon is a strong Belarusian presence in New York: language, mutual help, contacts and clear routes for people who are new here. A separate direction is cooperation between Christians of Belarus and the United States: contacts between communities, joint humanitarian and educational projects. Without loud statements.
BASTA.NYC builds ties between Christians of Belarus and the United States. This work is not about denominational disputes but about practical interaction: between communities and parishes, pastors, missionaries and Christian organisations of both countries.
We help establish contact, accompany joint humanitarian, educational and charitable projects, and carry agreements through to concrete steps — visits, exchange of experience, targeted help for families and communities.
We do not represent a particular denomination and we do not campaign. Our role is to connect people and to carry joint projects through to a result. If you need a conversation with a priest or a pastor — write to us and we will arrange a meeting, including online.
