Started attending Svitlo:

Responsibilities: 

• Social Media Management: I take an active role in creating content for Svitlo’s social media platforms. I help to write Svitlo newspaper and create stories for Instagram.
• Mini-prefect for the lessons "English from Ireland":  My responsibilities include keeping a register and monitoring activity in the classroom.
• Easter Preparation: I taught a series of one-off lessons on Easter preparations, where students work together to make handmade decor and other useful crafts for the holiday.

Plans for the future:‍

I plan to continue to take an active part in the life of the school. This year I will be applying to universities in Ukraine, but I will try to do everything in my power to get the opportunity to study abroad, because after all, I need to use my language skills somewhere!

One sentence to describe Yelyzaveta:‍

"Enthusiasm, reliability and determination are about me".

What Svitlo School means to Yelyzaveta:‍

Svitlo is really one of the best things that happened to me in the last two years. When the war started, it was very difficult to somehow re-engage myself in active participation in my studies and to enjoy all those ordinary things again, as I did before. However, later, when I found out that there was such an opportunity, I immediately joined, because at first I did not believe it. Now I have a lot of friends here and I am very happy to have been given the opportunity to become part of such a warm community and just take part in the life of the school. It is truly a great honour to make history with you!

Scholarship from Svitlo:
