Membership of our SIFE team varies in the range of 20-25 people. The team realizes social projects directed to the help of people in need.
The first year we worked on two projects: help children with hearing impairment to admission to colleges and study of unemployed girls who have graduated from colleges to making souvenirs from secondary raw materials.
Results of the work: five graduates of regional boarding-schools with hearing impairment enrolled to colleges. Four unemployed girls have found jobs.
On National competitions held every year in Almaty our team was awarded with SPIRIT AWARD Cup.
The target audience of second year projects became children with hearing impairment of regional boarding school, migrants-repatriates, and rural farmers. We taught children with hearing impairment to the Essentials of Economics, Sign English language. Project on teaching Sign English language children with hearing impairment caused interest of jury members, they gave high assessment to this project. We plan to make official right for intellectual property, developed by team twenty-five classes which are recorded on electronic media.
One of the projects was connected with work with women-repatriates, we taught them to make souvenirs in HANDMADE style, so that they could earn money from selling their items. The team works under renovation of HANDMADE methods, expansion of target audience and types of services.
We developed the project on organization of production on processing plastic containers, with which garbage polygons are filled up. As petroleum products are spent on production of plastic containers it’s uneconomical to throw it, it’s necessary to process it. We plan to continue this ecological project, although have difficulties on organization of manufacturing industry.
The efforts of team are directed on help people in need, improvement of ecological situation of our city.

Our delegation visited such event first time, which brought together students of different countries to show their work over last year. The first day was presentation day of the cultural programme of each country-it struck us with its singularity. 
Each 
team was dressed in the national costumes presented their culture, dances, traditions. The parade of people of all nationalities showed that leading studentship can unite together, and there are no boundaries for communication. Students sifers communicate in an informal atmosphere, got acquainted, were photographed, dancing – it was wonderful!
Cultural fair of the teams was radiant and bright. Unusual dishes, dances, games, souvenirs – all of it was interesting and fascinating.
Competition of teams was held in 8 leagues. Winners – two teams from each league reached semifinal.
We saw how excited were students before performance, how present own projects, convincingly show the results of executed projects. What kind of problems don’t raised by sifers in the projects! It’s work with children who can’t study at school, organization of business of unemployed women and help in business of many people.
16 teams reached semifinal and only four reached final: teams of India, Egypt, Zimbabwe and the USA.
Students of the USA team won World Cup and the team of Egypt won the second place.
Impression about holding World cup are the best. What have we learned for themselves as team?
Firstly, for successful work it is necessary to solve problems of country, region which would bring improvement of life of as many people as possible.
Secondly, success comes when efforts are invested and significant results are really got of executed projects.
Thirdly it’s necessary to know English perfectly.
These conclusions were our guide to action, we hope that we will put our plans into life.
