През изминалата 2013г. три ученички от Езикова гимназия „Академик Людмил Стоянов” - Благоевград - Джамиле Камбер, Мария Милева и Илиана Безинска, представиха България на първи кръг на състезанието World Scholar’s Cup в Прага и се класираха за световния кръг, който се състоя в Дубай през юни. Състезанието се провежда на международно ниво и включва умения по писане на есета, решаване на тестове и водене на дебати на английски език. След отличното представяне, заедно с учителката си Атина Лао, ентусиазираните гимназистки решиха да сформират още два отбора.
След организирането на училищен конкурс бяха избрани още шест
ученици.
След приблизително една година усилена подготовка,
общо деветимата ученици се представиха блестящо на регионалния кръг на
състезанието, който се проведе в Истанбул, Турция на 10-11 май 2014г.
В него участваха повече от 50 отбора. Нашите ученици спечелиха повече
от 80 медала и 13 купи като награди за дебати, есета, тестове,
индивидуални представяния и отборни представяния, както и в областите
История, Социални проучвания, Наука и Специална област, която тази
година включваше знания по Икономика. И трите ни отбора са в топ 5,
както следва на 1-во, 2-ро и 4-то място, и са класирани за световния
кръг, който ще се проведе на 24-27 юни 2014 в Сингапур.
Имената на учениците са Джамиле Камбер, Мария Милева, Илиана Безинска, Велизара Георгива, Милка Стойчева, Кирил Каров, Росана Петкова, Стефани Чобанова и Георги Георгиев. Те са единтвените участници от България и искат да представят достойно родината си на световно ниво, което за съжаление не е лесно, тъй като за участието на трите отбора са нужни 18000 лв., които нито училището, нито самите ученици имат възможност да платят разноските за участие.

I teach English at a public foreign language high school in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. After 1 year of intense studying and hard work, my 3 high school teams placed 1st, 2nd, and 4th overall respectively, in the regional round of the World Scholar's Cup. WSC is an international English-language competition with student participants from more than 40 countries around the world. It features debates, essays, and tests in 6 different academic subjects. Due to my students' excellent performances, they all qualified for the Global Round (final round), which will be held June 24-27, 2014 in Singapore.
My students have the opportunity to represent all of Bulgaria! However, in order to get there, we need to raise approximately $12018 USD. This is the breakdown of the budget:
1) $7889 - round-trip airfare between Istanbul - Singapore (cheapest)
2) $1000 - Round-trip bus between Blagoevgrad and Istanbul
3) $2129 - accommodation @ Yale-NUS Dorms for 7 nights in Singapore
4) $600 - registration fees
5) $400 - transportation within Singapore
*Any extra funds would go towards the following in this order: (1) meals for higher-need students (2) Registration fees for a student doing WSC in 2014-2015 school year.
Although ALL of my students are very deserving, their families cannot afford to sponsor this trip. While we need some major sponsorship in order to make this trip happen, YOU can still help out. Help us raise at least partial funding through crowdfunding!
My students worked for almost one year in preparation for this competition, and they deserve the chance to represent Bulgaria in the final round of this tournament. Contribute to this fundraiser. Help them break down stereotypes about Bulgarians and show the world what hard work and education can accomplish!
As they say in Bulgarian, заедно, и малко по малко ("together, and little by little"), we can do it!
