ON THE ROCKS

Today’s session of the ESC was held in the frame of the CITY DAY celebration and took place ON THE ROCKS of the city’s central Lazar Globa Park.

Before the session started all the club members had a chance to attend the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Libraries’ Fair where the WOA Dnipropetrovsk was represented by a separate stand displaying American electronic gadgets and educational games for children.

The highlight of the session was a visit of the Novomoskovsk English Speaking Club organized by the Peace Corp volunteer Mrs. Joanna Luongo.

After short introductions of the club members from both sides the guests from the town of Novomoskovsk told us about their activities and achievements. The club was named “Open Borders” as it facilitates opening of new horizons to persons who enrich their knowledge with a foreign language.

One of the achievements of the “Open Borders” Club was editing of the English-Russian newsletter for the readers and visitors of the local Library. The Club’s founder Mrs. Joanna Luongo helped the Library to win a grant for computer equipment. The activities of the Peace Corp volunteer Joanna and her Ukrainian counterparts were described in the article of the local newspaper “Visnyk  Prysamarija” (Samara River valley Herald).

To round up the session the Dnipropetrovsk ESC members told the city guests about the founder of the old park - Cossack Lazar Globa - and invited them to make a group photo in front of the L.Hloba monument.
