Jam
This is an outreach to other Break Dancers in the local area. Break dancers come together not to compete but to share what moves they know and to see what others are learning. This is a friendly time to talk and dance and encourage each other in break dance. Youth Life hired a sports hall for this event in the city centre. 130 youth took part and 80 break dancers came to this outreach. In June the Battle will be held by Youth Life in Tajikistan, the Jam was also used to see how many teams are willing to take part and to help with the bigger event which is the Battle!
Samaritan Purse Presents and Concerts
The past 3 months Youth Life has been distributing to schools, kindergartens, hostels etc presents from Samaritans Purse. Each youth leader has organized mini presentations or concerts in the schools and kindergartens where ever they work and have clubs and during the presentation presents were presented to more than 3000 children and youth. All of which were extremely happy to receive such delightful gifts that they are able to keep. The great thing about these presents is how they open many new hearts to Youth Life’s work and that friendships and help can be shared with really needy young people. This is a long term work.

Spring Youth Leaders Camp in ‘Shakriston’This year Youth Life’s youth leaders camp was moved from March to April as repairing on the new building was in full swing and every ones help was needed. The end of April 75 youth leaders headed to the beautiful mountains of Tajikistan called ‘Shakriston’ to spend 5 days together camping. The theme was all focused on ‘Who am I’, ‘What kind of personality do I have?’. Some of the highlights of this camp were: practically teaching the youth how good and bad decisions can affect our lives in different ways. Spring had already come so the mountains were green and this was a pleasant change to freezing snow and cold temperatures.
The last night all the youth leaders took part in a presentation where each one of them presented something in a creative way to bless the others, this was a great fun time that blessed everyone!!
Moving to the New Building phase 1
Finally the beginning of April it was time to move all Youth Life’s things to the new premises. Everything was not yet ready but the first floor was ready for the office furniture. 5 Trucks were rented to transport all the things that Youth Life has collected over the past 9 years. This was a great moment as so much effort and strength from the young people's hearts has gone into this project and to see it coming together strengthened the purpose and vision of the team. Currently the first building is being finished and the foundations and skate park will be started within the next few weeks.
