Embracing Change
Schools in Kyrgyzstan are becoming more open to TCD ideas.
Three schools invited me to a celebratory lunch, during which many heartfelt wishes and plans for future collaboration were shared. My heart melted at the words of one school director, a true rock of a leader, who said, “Three years ago, you began teaching us. All the digitalization programs you introduced are now part of our everyday work.”
At the second school, an elderly teacher admitted that she had learned about ChatGPT through our sessions. She reflected, “I always wondered how the students completed their assignments so exceptionally, without realizing they were using AI.”
The third school welcomed me warmly, already familiar with my work at neighboring institutions. The teachers and students there embody the hope and transformation fostered through Transformational Community Development (TCD). Their attitudes, behavior, dedication, and thoughtful reflections on life demonstrate the profound impact of this work.
Thank you!
