In celebration of #EarthDay and #GSYD2018, @FLEXAlumniTJ, along with ACCESS and College Prep Club participants in Tajikistan, organized a community service event at the Language Center in Vahdat City. #FLEXAlumni Avalmo gave a presentation to ACCESS students about environmental issues, and participants planted trees and flowers. Special guests from the U.S. Embassy even joined the event! Well done all! #GYSD

A wonderful #FriendshipFriday post featuring @clscholarship and #NSLIY alumna Paula, who met 2016-17 #FLEXAlumni Yeva during her travels in Armenia! "My tour guide is a FLEX alum! We ECA students are everywhere. One of the other tourists asked what FLEX was and idk who was more bursting at the seams, her to talk about her year in the US or me to talk about State Dept Exchanges!" #ExchangeOurWorld Photo: @paulaglotinprogress

"Exactly a year ago, I received an answer from the American Councils that I became a finalist of the #FLEXProgram. I've been coming to this dream for years.This day I will never forget, because it changed my future forever. I want thank all who was with me, all who believed in my first, great victory in life! This year taught me a lot in life, I became more mature than ever and of course I saw the world from the other side. I promise to bring more victories and joy in the future! Thank you life! Thank you!" Photo: @eldar_brother_life

Global Youth Service Day is happening this weekend, April 20-22! In preparation for #GYSD2018, #FLEXProgram student Fatima from Azerbaijan describes a project she recently completed with the help of her local @boyscoutsofamerica troop! Fatima shares, “During my stay in the U.S. I have paid attention on situation with lake shore located close to my city. The lake shore was in a bad condition because of floods that happened here. If we will add tornadoes, which is not unusual thing for Oklahoma, the picture of the lake shore by spring looks particularly miserable… So I have decided to gather my scout crew for the camp out, the main goal of which was our eco project. With great support and enthusiasm of my sisters and brothers in scouting, from Venture Crew 8 of Boy Scouts of America, we could implement this project. We spent a day cleaning up the lake shore of Fort Gibson Lake with my troop. The best moment of that day was to see the result. I'm really happy to continue my scouting experience during my exchange year. Experience which has started in my home country with support of Association of scouts of Azerbaijan almost 5 years ago. Happy to find so many friends in scouting! Sincerely appreciate everyone who supported me during this tremendous year! Especially I want to thank the FLEX Program and @asse_international for this opportunity! I have learned a lot, which beyond doubt will help me during life ahead!” Photo: @fatimasusblog
