Chaldovar School Resource Center

"The community of Ming Bulak lacks a working library, which is necessary to disseminate the reading resources it wants to acquire. Without access to books, teachers and students lack the essential tools of education. In addition, the community lacks a microphone system, which is necessary to hold concerts and competitions. These concerts and events are part of a school tradition that was established during the Soviet Union, yet they are fundamentally important to the life of the community. School events like these provide opportunities for the community to strengthen its bonds, identify problems, and mobilize to find solutions. These school events also provide community members with the opportunity to celebrate holidays and achievements, and provide a rare diversion from the daily struggle to make ends meet. The proposed Partnership project aims to improve the quality of the reading resources that are available to teachers and students in the subjects of Russian and Kyrgyz literature and English as a foreign language and improve the community's ability to mobilize skills and resources. To accomplish this the community will remodel the existing library and will hold two fundraising events to raise money and awareness for the project. Partnership funds are needed to purchase a microphone system and various books in the Russian, Kyrgyz and English languages."
