Hello dear all,
I wanted to write you how i spent my summer holidays. In this summer i was in two camps. One is GCE camp and another NSLi_Y camp. Now i want to write a bit about the second camp.
During six weeks i was away from this website as i was in one wonderful camp by name NSLY-I camp directed my American Council organization. 7 American highschool girls came to Tajikistan to learn Tajik language and culture. And 7 Tajik students who were semifinalist of FLEX program were invited to this camp to learn about USA and its culture. As you see all participants of this camps are girls. It was girl power camp.I and Nigora an English teacher taught Tajik girl English language. And two other English teacher Mavjuda and Muharram taught Tajiki to American girls. And once in a week they learned Persian- Farsi the language of our ancistors.
The camp was called ‘ Nadejda. It was in Varzob area. As a extra class students learned Tajik dance class, Gulduzi, Zarduzi, National Kitchen and Tajik Art class.
During these six week US girls learned tajik language and culture and visited all seesighting places in Dushanbe. I liked the camp very much and i have many new friends now.
Ilike exchange programs you can learn about another culture and its traditions and language. And while you are abroad you can value more your own country’s traditions and customs.
So this is my summer camp write about your summer camp. How do you spent it?
My summer Holidays
GCE camp in Varzob Area
Greetings from Varzob area, Yesterday June 20th I and my two students came to office. We arrived to camp “Lira” about 9 oclock. The weather was fine and later in the evening we had rain. But the nature is so beautiful here. The fresh air. singing of birds, sounds of water. The mountains are all rounds. We were told that we will go to trekking. It is very beautiful area to watch. So I introduced with 3 trainers. I know Halimahon a teacher from ILC Isfara. And I know Zarrina Qambaraova from iLC Kayrakkum and I did not know Ganjina from ILC Dushanbe. We learned a lot about each other and enjoy the very much our first day in camp. During playing badminton with Halimahon we laughed, talked, and learned to play badminton. It must be mention we do not play it before. Now I m quite agree that sport really join people. I really liked all the trainers. We do not know each other well.Every evening we trainers get together and discuss new activities for evening in order to make every day unique. So I gave some of my ideas to Gulnoz and other trainers and they accept them. At the opening of the camp we played getting to know each other games. There are 26 students in camp. And we learned each others name and adjectives. So I am Zebo and I am zealous. It is good game students learned many adjectives. In this camp they will improve their English. Students have different level of English. Some are intermediate and some elementary. I have idea to help beginners students to learn English words every day. It is just optional. We were divided into 3 teams. I am team leader in one team. And we gave a name to our team. It is ‘Easy Tigers”. Our motto to take evetything from life while you have a chance. Then we had disco in the evening. I danced sooo much. Halima and I danced with soo great desire. I forgot when i danced last time. So I am happy that i have 9 more days to have fun in this camp and of course to teach students about new technology and improve English. In one word the first day was fantastic.
English Language Day in Sworde Teppa 2009
On the same day April 9th in the afternoon we also took part in English language day in Sworde Teppa. And we decided to take part in that ceremony too. We succeed to participate twice, because last year we also took part in that and there were different quizzes. And there was competition of postcards and some of our postcards were best ones and we got prizes for that. Some of us were participants last year of English language day and last year hold different knowledge and entertainment games. And every year it has some time table of holding English language day. This year it consists of opening and welcoming. The second was how students can change the poem, this part hold Mr. Ray. It was so easy and funny to change the poem about fears of our life. It was interesting and knowledgeable to change poem and some ones could full fill their vocabulary. I and Madina were volunteers in this game. After that there was discussion with British HM Deputy Ambassador Kim Gould. we gave to her questions.I was very glad to see how our students give questions, even some children from kindergarten took part in that and gave questions too. There was the game when to one group give one difficult situation and they have to solve it. This gave develop thinking and fast solving skills. In this game our team from Sarband became winners. The other game was about how much student knows about sport events and as a test had to switch right answer. All participants got something in that day by taking part in English language day.
And after that day I had good memories forever because not every person could participate in such kind of ceremonies and to get something that will be need in future and meet such persons. I consider that such centers are need to our generation to learn and widen outlook. I want that we see more and more students in that centers.

Another activity evoted to 8th of March
On the 5th of March. Students from school #1 and English club were invited to village school #4 in our town Sarband to join them in celebrating the 8th of March, International Women’s Day. Students from ILC for the first time visit village school and become very happy to meet new friends. It is good that town schoolchildren be aware about conditions of village schools. And village schoolchildren are very curious and active. In some village school there are not enough teachers and no experienced one too. The whole winter they had not electricity. And town schools of our town are very lucky that they have all conditions, best teachers, electricity, and resources. But they do not study well. Village schoolchildren are very busy with field work and house work at home. And have little time for study. Anyway some even take their books with them in the field or in the meadow while working. So students had nice time together and exchanged with dove of friendship and gifts. Now we will invite them to all our activities. The village schoolchildren become very inspired when they attended some of our activities.
The Future of our Country
Every society should respect woman and care about them. The society which takes care of women- mothers, girls- its takes care of its future.
I want to write about girls. Now we are very happy that majority girl can study in high school and universities. And thanks to government those who have no opportunity to get higher education can have it. Now our government pays a lot of attentions to girl’s educations. Girls should acquire all skills, modern technology and foreign languages. Our president also pay a lot attention to the girls of our country, because without girls it not easy to work.. We know that girls, women are very gentle, pacific, and responsible and they make everything with peace. Nowadays we can see that our girls work on different kinds of work, and girls also active participate in different competitions and programs. Majority of our girls go to another country to get education and, in order to see anything new and learn a lot of new information. When they come back they become more active, work on different high works and make everything that to improve their country and that our country blossom day by day. Of course our girls and women are very beautiful and because of it where is a woman or a girl that place will blossom and beautiful like girls. And certainly women, girls can give good advice for boys, and their advice can help to boys. Respect and value our girls! And we wish to girls in our Republic a happy and colorful as their dress life.

Where there is woman, there is beauty
Woman always associates with beauty and cleanness. We know that women have tender hands. And on this picture we can see a woman, she is a charwoman. We know that some of people dislike and even humiliate this work but we mustn’t forget that it is a special and important work. Because charwomen always clean everything and we need in such women. For example at schools we so need in charwomen, because if in our schools will not work this women our schools will be always dust and untidy. These women get clean and keep everything tidy. We know that women like to do every work with love and tidy, they make beauty in the houses, schools, factories, organizations and in whole world. We must always respect charwomen because without them it will be pollution everywhere. Love and respect this work and always remember that this kind of work is very important.
