\n\t\u201cIn the war, children, women and the elderly suffer the most. That is why in our projects we always pay special attention to support these parts of the population. This is not our first meeting with you and once again, I want to say that education plays a very important role in life. Together with the British School, we are focused on the development of education in the region, especially English language. All of you, young people, are the future of our country and we must do everything possible for your development\u201d, Umud Mirzayev said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am very impressed with this trip to the war-affected region of Azerbaijan. Everything I see here is very sentimental, but most of all I am amazed and at the same time glad to see the desire of these children to improve their skills, study and move forward\u201d, Philip Roche said.<\/p>\n

\n\tAssistant to the IEPF President Anastasia Lavrina told about her experience and how education played a vital role in her career.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is not my first trip to Terter. I love to come here because I see myself in you. I grew up in Lok- Batan settlement of Karadag district. As a schoolgirl, I believed that a good education and belief in success can lead me to the victory. And I was right. Strong education has opened many doors for me and today I say with confidence that the efforts will never be in vain. I believe in your success and in your achievements\u201d, Anastasia Lavrina said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDespite the fact that these children live in the war-affected region of Azerbaijan, not far from the contact line, and every time they are afraid when they hear the explosions of bombs, they do not lose hope for peace. The work of IEPF, aimed at helping and supporting these children, makes an invaluable contribution to their development.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswering the questions, the children stressed that they are very interested in learning English and will be happy to become a part of the program initiated by IEPF and the British School.<\/p>\n
