A New, Warmer, Safer, Brighter, Cleaner School We asked students and teachers what they are looking forward to most when it comes to having a new school: “It will be the best thing that will happen to us.” – Guliver Aydarbekov, Grade 8 “As I imagine it will be bigger, it will be much warmer, it will have bigger window than this one. And will be proud of our school and also will try to be the best students of our school.” – Khubchehra Kalamova, Grade 8 “We will be very very happy and will ask God to bless the CAI Tajikistan donors.” – Farrukh Odinamamadov, Teacher Why People Are Chipping In “ I would be extremely concerned if my children had to attend classes in any school that was unsafe. Every child and parent deserves better than that. – Patrick, Donor since 2009 ” “ I think that building a good school in Spinz, and elsewhere in Tajikistan, is like building a bridge between people, showing that we care, that we are all one family on this planet. ” – Nancy, Monthly Donor CentralAsiaInstitute.org | 3
