Two years of collaboration with the Peace Corps volunteer Jason Marks have past so fast…

Volunteers are people who have a desire to work abroad with their foreign colleges working hard together and facing the same difficulties. Volunteers are not just assistants. They are the leaders and the tutors. They are not working on standard programs but they are our inspiration for life.

One of them is Jason Marks. He was invited to work in our school as a volunteer.

We did a lot of work together. Mr. Marks helped us with thousands of activities. He taught hundreds of lessons and extracurricular activities together with us. We’ve written two important projects for our school, founded volunteer’s club and created English -speaking debating club.

Our principal Tkachenko Tetiana Yehorivna thanked Mr. Marks for contribution into the school life. Our pupils thanked him for his partnership. They presented Mr. Marks with songs, poems, good speeches and a small gift-slide-show about him and his work in our school. Denis Kulyk, the winner of the FLEX program congratulated Mr. Marks from the USA.

We could take part in different projects about culture, ecology, law, psychology and social problems. The main contribution of Mr. Marks was that he took part in this work together with our teachers and students.

Volunteering isn`t just a help, but a self-development.
