November 1st, 2012
What are your plans for November 1st?
Whether it’s your fall break or just another exciting day at school, if you are in Ukraine, we want to be a part of your plans!
Thursday, November 1st, 2012 marks the third celebration of A Day in the Life of Ukraine, and you are cordially invited to participate!
A Day in the Life of Ukraine is a collaborative national project, coordinated by Peace Corps volunteers, that gives you the opportunity to share your small slice of Ukraine with the rest of the country and the world. Teachers, students, administrators, Peace Corps volunteers, community members—anybody and everybody living in Ukraine on November 1st is encouraged to join in!
The basic idea is the same as before and quite simple: tell the story of your experiences on November 1. We’ll receive submissions from all over the country and share them on our website http://aditlou3.wordpress.com. Our hope, in this project and all that follow, is to create an active ongoing conversation about what it means to live in Ukraine today. In the process, the goals for ADITLOU are to show the world a broad view of life in modern Ukraine, to offer participants the opportunity to use English in a creative, public way, and to encourage self-reflection and appreciation for our normal everyday lives. We want to hear about all types of days, so don’t think of this as a competition to have the most exciting day possible. Instead, we want to challenge you to celebrate your day no matter what!
You can choose any genre you wish—poems, short stories, essays, letters, hybrid prose poetry—but all submitted pieces MUST be in English. If you have non-English speaking friends or family who want to participate, the project could provide a great translation project for students of English (and teachers wanting to brush up on their translation skills)!
Our two previous Days were big successes, but we want the project to become a tradition that continues to grow and spread across the country. If you would like to see the work done for our previous Days, visit http://adayinthelifeofukraine.wordpress.com (13/12/11) and http://adayinthelifeofukraine2.wordpress.com (05/05/12).
Submissions for ADITLOU3 are due by November 8, 2012 and should be sent to adayinthelifeofukraine@gmail.com You can also use that address for any questions or comments that you may have.
Before submitting, please visit our current site http://aditlou3.wordpress.com to read our submission guidelines as well as receive helpful hints on how to prepare for the project. As always, please type each piece (no scanned documents will be accepted), and then copy and paste your writing into the body of your email. Each participant will receive an electronic certificate.
Happy writing today and always!

Using the skills and knowledge gained from Camp HEAL, the six
students have decided to put on a series of seminars directed at educating
their university peers about how HIV is transmitted, how to protect themselves
from being infected, and exploding the myths about the disease that often lead
to dangerous stigma and discrimination. They are also working hard to plan a
concert event for World AIDS Day on 1 December. I'm really excited to be
working with these students on such great and important projects!

Summer Camp HEAL
A lot of
students take time to rest over summer holidays, but for six students at Rivne State
Humanities University,
this past summer was a bit different. Sasha, Tanya, Katya, Julia, Ivanna, and
Katya joined me in traveling across the country to Akhtyrka (near Sumy) for a
unique summer camp called Camp HEAL, which stands for Human Trafficking,
Education, AIDS/HIV, and Leadership. Not only were these student campers given
the opportunity to travel and see a new place and to practice their language
skills with Peace Corps volunteers from America, they also learned valuable
lessons on important issues facing Ukraine, and worked very hard to develop
projects that they could then bring back to Rivne.
And most importantly, they had a lot of fun! I'm proud to say that
our students were most certainly the best campers there, the superstars of the
camp!
Two students,
Tanya and Sasha, also stayed on to work as counselors at a second camp, called Camp OHALOW,
which stands for Overcoming HIV/AIDS and Leading Our World. OHALOW is a brand
new camp aimed at working with and educating children directly affected by HIV.
Tanya and Sasha were excellent counselors, directly involved in planning and
coordinating activities, translating for the American volunteers, and working
with the kids as group leaders. It was an amazing experience!
