The notion that friendship and cooperation with other countries, as well as the strengthening of friendly relations with the citizens of other states, is only possible at the state level is now in the past. As of today, we see that in the resolution of problems, individual citizens, groups and organisations (that is, non-governmental organisations) are in involved. Among these organisations is the Women’s Public Union of Erayim, which was formed from the moment of Kyrgyz independence. The organisation has made a significant contribution to the development of our country. Erayim cooperates with British Non-Governmental Organisations and closely liaise with them and recently held a meeting with the British Ambassador to the Kyrgyz Republic. For this reason we decided to ask a few questions to the leader of the charity, Rakhila Ismailovna Zhusupova.

At the end of July, HM Ambassador Judith Farnworh visited the ‘Buchur’ educational centre. The visit was organised by the Women’s Public Union Erayim. The centre is located in the №77 Secondary School, in the Ak-Orgo region of Bishkek.

As we all know, the knowledge of several foreign languages has become one of the main requirements of today. Parents do all that they can so that their children know either English, German, French or other foreign languages. However it is often the case that children from poorer backgrounds are unable to attend paid course due to financial difficulties.

In an attempt to resolve this issue the Women’s Public Union Erayim has been paying special attention to the teaching of the English language to the children of its beneficiaries and children from poorer backgrounds since 2000. To begin with, local teachers taught English these children so that they could then study with native English-speaking volunteers in the future.

The Women’s Public Union Erayim, in conjunction with Claire Reeves, an English Teacher from Britain, has developed a project called ‘English Summer Schools’, where the children of participants of Erayim’s self-help groups and also children from poorer backgrounds are taught English.

This year, the ‘English Summer Schools’ programme has received 8 volunteers, who are students at St Andrews University, Bristol University, The University of Sheffield and UCL. At the moment, the volunteers are working in the Chui Province, the At-Bashi Region and in the Ak-Orgo Settlement in Bishkek. They teach English to over 485 schoolchildren between them. As well as this, 2 teachers from Britain have led a course on how to improve the methods used for learning the English language, in which 23 teachers participated.

Her Excellency, Ms. Judith Farnworth, The British Ambassador to the Kyrgyz Republic, also appreciates the work of the volunteers in the English Summer Schools and their teaching of the English language to Kyrgyz children, in conjunction with the Women’s Public Union Erayim. Last year, Her Excellency, visited and sat in on the lessons of the volunteers and expressed her desire for the project to be successful. Again, this year Her Excellency is again interested in visiting the lessons of the volunteers. Her Excellency, Ms. Judith Farnworth, The British Ambassador to the Kyrgyz Republic will be visiting the English Summer School programme in the Buchur educational centre, at №77 Secondary School,  Ak-Orgo, Bishkek, at 10am on the 30^th of July.

Once again, several foreign volunteers have come to Kyrgyzstan from Britain to teach English at the summer schools organised by the charity WPU Erayim for the children of its beneficiaries.  These summer schools are held in the housing estates of Bishkek and also in villages across the different regions of Kyrgyzstan. Volunteers have also arrived to provide a course that helps improve the approach taken in teaching English as a foreign language by local teachers in village schools.
