After many weeks of working through the red-tape of planning an extensive visit around the world in the U.S., the Dushanbe team is finally set to come! They are scheduled to arrive in Chicago on August 7 and return August 18.
Those who will make up the Tajik team include a delegate from the Dushanbe city mayor's office, a university English teacher, a lawyer specializing in volunteer organizations, translators, and students from School #21 who were among the original pen-pals with students at Holy Cross school in Fort Wayne. Victor Ibragimov will lead the team.
During their visit in the greater Fort Wayne area a variety of activities are planned for the team, including:
- public school tours
- Indiana-Purdue University tour
- Glenbrook mall visit
- Fort Wayne tour (zoo, city parks, museums, etc.)
- Regional city visit (Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis?)
- Recreational time (state park perhaps)
- Volunteerism training
- Volunteer mentoring/projects at Black Pine Animal Park
- Amusement park or "fun time"
- and surely more!
We are looking forward to a great cultural exchange and learning experience! Stay tuned for more news...
