Milka - Macedonia

Dear friends,

I will try to introduce myself shortly,hope the project will be approved and we will be able to see and get to know each other.

My name is Milka and I come from  a small town-Kavadarci(40.000 inhabitants) in the southern part of Macedonia,70 kms from the Greek border.It is a wine region and famous for the productipon of the best wines which are produced in the country,so almost every family has got their own vineyard.

I teach English in a primary/lower secondary school and our school has got about 600 pupils every year.Children start our school at the age of six and finish at the age of 14.Pupils start learning English at the age of six in the school.

I have two sons,Ivan is 8 and Matej is 3.My husband is a computer engineer and takes care of the computer system in the Court in my town.He is also the "money maker" in my family since he is a trainer for NGOs and gives accreditation for many NGOs who work in Macedonia.This allows him to travel a lot through the world and he has had lecturing activities as far as India.The name of his NGO is Council for prevention of juvenile delinquency.

I love life and travelling and exploring different countries and traditions is my passion.I have travelled a ot in many countries around the world.I also love cooking and experimenting with all kind of food and  seafood is my favourite.Another passion is flowers and gardening

I met Jolanta ,a wonderful person,during the e twinning conference in Sofia last year.

As a school,we have not had many projects so far,this will be a new experience for us.I took part in a study visit in Finland last September and it was a very nice experience for me.Last summer,I was a leader of a group in Switzerland,seven youngsters and we took part in a cultural experience for two weeks.This year we will do it again.Two years ago,I was also a leader of a group of children who took part in a cultural sharing event through music.

I am very eager to start working on a new experience. My facebook is Milka Mrkeva,you can see some photos of me and my family there.

Looking forward to hear from you all soon.

Regards,

Milka
