Five Belgians In Our Gymnasia

On April 16, five Belgians from different parts of this relatively small country spent a few hours in the walls of our gymnasia. Their visit started from the guided tour round the premises perfectly conducted by Maria Samokhvalova in her exquisite French. The guests got acquainted with the rich history of relationship between Cherkasy and the Belgian city of Arlon. They were told about it by the coordinator of the project T. G. Mokrushina.

Since the guests are the members of Rotary clubs in Belgium, they also had a meeting with the members of the gymnasia club “Interact”. Its president Illya Lagutin informed everyone ptresent about the programs that the club participates in and coordinates, while the other participants had a chance to tell about their particular contribution to the work of the club as well as their likes in relation to what they are doing.

After that, the Belgian guests had a meeting with the children who had a pleasant opportunity to rest in Belgium earlier this or in the previous years due to their kind assistance. Among the guests invited to the meeting were also the children whose parents died heroically or were wounded defending the sovereignty of our country and cannot take part in the ambush anymore.

Gymnasia principal and the French teacher Mokrushina spoke a lot about the probability of cooperation between our school and many Belgian educational institutions in the near future.

Today, the guests will visit the City Council, sanatorium “Ruska Polyana”, and then return to Kyiv.
