More than thirty students including some volunteers are enjoying the International Summer Camp under the motto “Friendship Without Borders” with three US students and a teacher. Mr. Martin Drozdoff, a US teacher who came with with students is a very nice man and he is one of the trainers in the camp. Together with Mr. Drozdoff and my colleague Gulnoz we have split students into three teams and conduct trainings about Community Service - Volunteering, Environment, Public Speaking and others. Every day our camp has some kind of activities including interesting energizers.

Since we have no Internet connection, I will not be able to blog, but Mr. Drozdoff’s blog might be updated frequently. exchange

Now I need to go to local bazaar to buy shoes and back to the camp!

Back to blogging. Due to large amount of work I could not take time to go online and blog. Now here I am. Tomorrow I am going to one of the beautiful summer camp sites in Varzob valley with a group of students. The camp where we are going to spend our ten days is called “Lira” and it is located between mountains. In other words the camp is located in the heart of mountains and it may take half hour of walk to reach the camp.

The weather in Dushanbe is very hot these days above 40 Celsius not allowing me to sleep well at night. I hope the next winter will not be like the one we had last time here in Tajikistan, so from another side it is better to value and enjoy sunny days at least leaving for a while to countryside.
