For example, college students Zhaksybayeva Aruzhan and Aitzhanova Mahabbat during a conversation with the parents of a student of class 4 “a” Amangeldinova Inkar, it turned out that due to the constant presence of the mother at work, the child can not pay enough attention to academic performance. Inkar found it difficult to do his homework on his own. The volunteers helped to complete the homework, explained topics that were not clear to the student, checked the homework and carried out the work. As a result, Inkar’s academic performance improved significantly. The work, accordingly, continues.
The student of the 3rd ” b ” class Zhumanova Aruzhan needed help in English and mathematics. The volunteer performed his work systematically. We managed the task together and gave feedback.
A student of the 2nd “A” class of Asulankyzy Asylai, divided into Beisengalieva Alina and Slatai Nurai, needed additional help in basic subjects, including Kazakh language and mathematics. The volunteers worked on communicating with the student. Volunteer work gives its positive results.
During the seminar, a student of the 42nd group, Madeniyatova Ayazhan, focused on her volunteer work.
“I, Madeniyatova Ayazhan Askharovna, conduct volunteer work in the educational direction as a student of the 4th grade of secondary school No. 4, Isabekova Aruna, who is brought up in a large family receiving an inclusive education. Since September 2020, this volunteer work has continued for the 2nd year. Due to the pandemic, the work with Aruna is currently being carried out through the vatsap. Communication with the parents was established. We visit the sights of our city to instill extra-curricular moral qualities and cultural heritage. For example, we visited the “biological center” and “Abay Museum”. Working with Aruna gives its results. The quality of Aruna’s knowledge increases, and a person is formed who is able to freely express his thoughts, close to creativity. The changes in her daughter’s life were noticed by her mother (Asel Nurkenova) and thanked the college.
The time to list each student’s volunteer work is limited, but every student who has worked in this area can defend their work in the same way as I do.
I don’t regret doing this volunteer work at all, I’m just happy. After all, thanks to my volunteer work, I honed my theoretical knowledge and gained a lot of experience.”
