“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela
Every Friday here in Tajikistan, the volunteers each take their turn to host a learning day. A day dedicated to a single global issue that is affecting the lives of people across the world every day. So far we have had three thought provoking Fridays discussing mental health, women’s rights and climate change. The amazing detail and hard work that goes into preparing these days is remarkable. These volunteers really care about the issues and try their very hardest to make the day enjoyable and educational for everyone involved. Admittedly some of the debates get heated; everyone here is very passionate and has their own beliefs and values, but a few educational themed games thrown in help remind everyone why we’re here- to beat Shane at Pictionary, but also to help raise awareness for these issue and to do what we can for this country and community……but mainly to beat Shane at Pictionary.
