  Description

  Dear Workawayers,
  
  My name is Eleonora. I work for the Private School in Osh city, where volunteers are warmly welcomed. The main purpose of this Workaway project is to help schoolchildren improve their conversational English, gain confidence in speaking, and learn about other countries and cultures.
  
  Volunteers will spend approximately three hours a day helping with the school’s English club and communicating with the students through conversations, games, discussions, and other engaging activities.
  
  During your stay, you will live with my family and experience everyday life in a Kyrgyz home.
  
  Because of our local traditions and family circumstances, we can only host female volunteers.
  
  Please note that the minimum stay is two weeks. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept volunteers for shorter stays, as it takes time to get to know the students, adapt to the school, and create a meaningful cultural exchange.
  
  We look forward to welcoming you, introducing you to Kyrgyz culture, and learning about your culture in return.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  If you are interested in being a volunteer at our school you will have an unforgettable trip to the sightseeings of southern Kyrgyzstan: visit Suleyman Too, a sacred mountain in the middle of Osh city, included to the UNESCO World Heritage, see Osh Bazaar, the biggest market in Central Asia, trip to 11th-century Uzgen city, travel to Alay district and spend nights in djailoo and sleep in Yurts (in summertime). Also, you will have an opportunity to try our sweet eco fruits and traditional food. You will have an opportunity to practice Russian, Uzbek and Kyrgyz languages.

  Help

  I would like the volunteer to assist with the school’s English club for up to three hours a day.
  
  Outside these hours, the volunteer will have plenty of free time to explore the city, relax, and experience local life and culture.

  Accommodation

  The place where the volunteer will stay is different from the workplace place.
  
  It is in the suburb of the city, but not so far from the working place since our city is not so big. Actually, it is my home. A two-level building with 6 rooms. Therefore, there will be enough place for a volunteer to live with us. There will be a separate big room furnitured with all the necessary stuff: bed, chair, table, shower, hot and cold water, washing machine. Food also will be served three times per day. If the volunteer is a vegetarian then she/he can use my kitchen and cook there.
