Letter of recommendation
Stockholm, 24th August 2021 Dear Sir/Madame
I was the General Director of the biggest TV-radio broadcasting company in Tajikistan named “VATAN” between October 2010 and September 2020. This recommendation letter made to one of our partner and volunteer Ms. Lola Kasymova. Lola started her cooperation with Radio “Vatan” in May 2016. We have been working with the local volunteers, civil activists by helping them to build and grow their platform and activities. Lola helped us a lot despite her young age. The project where Lola took a key role had involved collaboration with the students, teenagers, and media representatives. She was also responsible for the audio content of broadcasts delivered over the radio and internet.
Lola performed very professional and was a true team-player. Always proactive and presented creative ideas. Later as a representative of her organisation “Leaders Ship” Lola started her own radio project with us.
My overall impression of Lola is that she is trustful, honest, loyal, and impressively intelligent person to whom I had no problem to delegate most of the tasks and responsibilities. Moreover, her high communication skills, friendliness, pleasant and positive character are other highly appreciated advantages.
Therefor I have no hesitations to o?er my professional recommendations for Lola. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the references below.
Yours Sincerely,
………………………………………………… Vera Kulakova-Br?nnerud

Lola Kasymova: Letter Of Recommendation
I ?rst worked with Lola Kasymova at the Dushanbe Experimental Film Residency ‘My Vision’, which I found in 2018. Lola contributed to this project as a volunteer, assisting me with various tasks, including collaboration with ?lmmakers, assistance to tutors, helping to organise screenings, talks with guest speakers, etc. Despite her very young age, Lola has shown herself to be a talented person with a dedication to learning.
This ability and attitude, along with her activism in media, led me to employ her as line producer of my recent documentary project ‘Central Asia Next-30’, funded by the US Department of State Federal Assistance Fund. Although Lola had no experience in ?lmmaking before, she has impressively shown
herself to be a fast-learning person ready to work in extreme situations, taking
the right decisions under pressure, and demonstrating great communication skills. She was also invaluable to me when she worked on a recent project which I directed and produced remotely.
Lola has already built her pro?le as an activist, being an inspirational role model for other young people of Tajikistan, and I will be happy to see her moving further in her career and reaching new horizons. I have no doubts that Lola has a bright future, and her charm and pursuit of knowledge will also be an asset to any community lucky enough to have her.
