  Events

• In cooperation with the American Embassy, Afghan-American Tooba Mayel, from a Kabul-based NGO called Arzu which hires Afghan women to make carpets and market them throughout the world, visited Slovakia on December 6, 2007. In return for higher wages earned for carpet weaving, families of more than 700 women working for Arzu must agree to send children under age 15 to school full-time and to attend literacy classes. During her visit in Slovakia, Ms. Mayel visited many places including Forel International School, where she spoke to a classroom of about 30 engaged students between the ages of 11 and 14. The children became particularly interested in the idea of designing a carpet that the Afghan weavers could then make.
• AIESEC in Slovakia held its Supervisory Group meeting at the school in 2007.
