Age : 24

I was born in a small city named Namangan. I grew and studied there. When I was 19 years old during my study in the University, thanks to my classmate Safar Isaev, I became a volunteer in the NGO «Uzbek Association of Reproductive Health».

After
the first Y-PEER national training I have changed. I have changed from inside, understood
that there are many things which I should learn, use and share. I actively
started conducting various events for prevention of HIV/AIDS, drug abuse, STI
and healthy life style promotion. Have worked with different target groups -
from school children 2-4 and 8-9 grades, lyceum students, colleges and
universities, sportsmen from various sport groups, migrant workers, advisors of
makhallya (local community), as well as with staff of medical institutions
in different directions and levels. Organized seminars, trainings,
crosses, promotions, competitions, outreach work, conversations and meetings at
various levels. Have searched for sponsors (fundraising) to support volunteer
activities, developed new projects, as well as took part in various projects.
My
activity is generally directed on achievement of the following MDG goals:
- GOAL 3:PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER WOMEN
- GOAL 5: IMPROVE MATERNAL HEALTH
- GOAL 6: COMBAT HIV/AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER DISEASES
- GOAL 7: ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
It is also directed on achievement of the important
goals in the field of population and development listed in the action Program
of ICPD 94.
The
volunteering work inspires me because when I work with youth and others, first of
all, I get experience from them, because every person is unique. Their
experience carries some original information. The second is that I get peculiar
positive energy. This energy moves me forward. And of course the third is that
when I know information about problems which surrounds us I cannot stay aside.
Sharing this information and ways and methods of solving, protection,
prevention or usage, I become unworried and confident, because most of problems
become from lack or insufficient information. These are most of reasons
inspiring me but it is not just three…
At
present time I live and work in Tashkent (the capital of Uzbekistan) and I’m
Y-PEER national trainer, conducting national trainings, supporting young
volunteers and teaching them to work as trainer-volunteer. Because of
volunteering I have many friends from all over the world, reached many positive
results and found myself in my life.
I’m
one of the young active people in my community and there are many young active
people who work in different fields. On behalf of young active people of
Uzbekistan I can say that we do this because we are not indifferent for
problems which surround us.
I always say to young people: “Dont’ stay aside, all in your hads. Time to act make
youself known!”. Because I
have started from volunteering and small activities. Don’t be ashamed of being
volunteer or active young people. Because all in our hands.. problems..
solution.. future..
To
adults and decision makers: “Don’t make
a decision for us. Do it with us!”. Because we, young people, have our own
ideas, thinking, experience, interests and problems. Remember if you do not
involve us for solving problems concerning us, you cannot do anything!
