Summer Workshops

First week of the Summer Workshops 150 youth were expected but 320 turned up. The building was full of people everywhere. The themes of this workshop were: Obedience, friendship, how to serve each other and how to listen and many more. Week 2 there were 260 youth that came for the workshops and week 3 for the sports competition 150 youth. During the whole time of the workshops this summer: 798 Youth took part

There were different workshops going on the whole week: Acting, cooking, break dance, business, music, dance, table tennis, national dance, crafts and many more.

The time was a great time of learning to know each other and develop each others talents and learning to use them in positive ways to bless others.

Each week everyone went to the local beach to swim which cooled everyone down, the current temperature in Tajikistan is 36+C.

One of the workshops was Break Dance

The only place that the break dance could take place was on the roof of the new building, the 3rd floor. Each week there were at least 40+ students learning to break dance. Together with the break dance training social training was also given and discussions held.

Ramzidin, aged 13, he attends one of ‘Youth Life’s’ youth clubs in another city. Ramzidin started to learn break dance but he was finding it hard to pickup. The break dance trainer encouraged him and each day there was a teaching about character for example: How to listen, why we need to obey etc and this helped him to learn and develop in his break dance. As a result of his good attitude he was allowed to attend the workshops the following week. Now he wants to develop this area of his life more and more. He wants to join ‘Youth Life’s’ main break dance team training each week.
