New Hope.....

March 2007

Break Dance team performed in different concerts

Youth Life has 3 teams that it is working with in Tajikistan, a team that it supports in Bulgaria and 2 teams that it partners with in Kyrgyzstan. In Tajikistan the Break Dance team ‘New Life’ trains 3 times a week and through out the month they also perform in concerts and have a small business where they get paid to dance in wedding celebrations. This sphere of the work is growing very rapidly and there is a big interest from different countries to get the Breakers to visit and train other young people.

New Generation Concert in the city of Kairokum

March 3rd a concert was organized and held in the city of Kairokum, the concert was based around the topic ‘True Friendship won’t break’. The auditorium was full with people, and people were waiting outside to come in; more than 500 youth attended this outreach. 50 youth were involved in setting up the concert and in performing on the stage.

Comment from this concert:
One man who attend this concert was very impressed with all he saw and heard and told to one of the youth leaders, “We used to have such concerts when I was a child but we have not had such well organized and put together concerts for along time”.

Two big orienteering games were held in two main cities in the North of Tajikistan

Finally spring has come to Tajikistan, as the weather is better Youth Life decided to gather clubs from different cities together for a competition outside. One was held in the City of Chekalovsk and the other in Khujand. The purpose of the event was to encourage all the clubs by meeting together, make new friends, activate the youth and to learn from the whole event useful things for life. In Chekalovsk more than 400 came and in Khujand 700. The clubs that won each competition were: In Chekalovsk club ‘Cool Guys’ from the city of Karikom , they were all presented with prizes that can be used in their club activities. In Khujand the club ‘Sunrise’ won.

Focus on BUSINESS!!!

The whole of the program Youth Life runs is to empower young people from a young age right into adult hood. Business is the way forward for the future. Youth Life encourages young people to start businesses. They run an interactive program with each club to start small mini businesses to give young people experience in actually doing business. Youth Life has many activities such as concerts and camps when many young people take part and where businesses are easy to set up and money can be made. This past year 18 different businesses have been run and all profits are given back to the club to invest in further activities that they choose. The long term future there are plans to set up a training for families that are vulnerable to start businesses and for youth leaders to take the more successful business concepts and enlarge them and run for future ventures.

Bahrom is an inovator and had lots of new ideas for businesses locally



Youth outreach based entirely on Knowledge

Each year “Forum of Knowledge” is held where different youth from different clubs compete to win first place in this competition. Each team has to present a different town or city from Tajikistan and prepare costume, information about different cultural aspects of that place in a good and clear way. Teachers and professors from schools and Universities are invited to judge the competition and to award the prizes. 250 youth and adults attended this outreach.
