First, let me begin by saying what an honor and a privilege it was to
work with the wonderful staff on the American Corners in Stip without
whom the Creative Writing Workshops could not have been the amazing
success that they were. The students wrote some wonderful poems, plays, essays and short stories and I
want to also thank those students who gave up part of their summer vacation to stay indoors writing
literature. Also thanks to the parents who brought their kids to the program. This very ambitious
program had some wonderful writing begun in it as I am sure that you will see in the anthology. We are
not implying that these works are finished or that they cease to be works-in-progress, but rather this is a
record of what was started in the Creative Writing Camp this summer and I hope that the students use
this relatively permanent record as a kind of personal writing portfolio, so that they can return to works
begun but not completed for revisions as well as visions.
As I reread The Missing Honey play where a snail and a bee were talking to each other, I
remembered the first day of the camp when students were writing their animal stories about images that
they had placed on their portfolio. Kristina GeВrgieva’s amazing poem is certainly another high water
mark for me. There were sonnets and poems such as WiБЗeЕ PВeА by Dejan Maksimovski that
reminded me nostalgically of my youth, and beautiful haiku that were accompanied by the Haiku Houses.
So many of the plays, such as “Planning the Birthday , The Haunted House , and Vacation from Hell
are also memorable and worth revisiting. It is finally “The Evil Side-Kick that works so well on the
printed page.
Thank you so much for letting me spend some of my summer with you and your children. It was an
honor and a pleasure and I hope to see these young writers again next year working on new material,
forms, and genres and reworking some АaЗerials frВА Зheir WriЗer’s Portfolio.
Warm Regards,
Merrilee Cunningham, PhD.

Winter Poem
With every passing day
The mountain tops change
With the raining snowflakes
Made of white silver.
The trees, the plant life
Are changed, when they
Look at the sky,
The beautiful white, cold sky
It turns them into dust.
And when the cold strikes
The wide streets turn to glass
Reflecting like a big mirror,
Showing the mountain,
The beauty of the trees,
Each in their own class.

The Jungle
One day I and my mother went to the forest. I thought the forest would be very beautiful, but
no. The forest is very dangerous. Then I saw a big lion. I was scared. Then, next to the lion, I saw a
beautiful small rabbit, which ran away. I was very happy. Then one butterfly landed on my hand. I
enjoyed it very much. Then, my mother bought me an ice-cream. My mother and I went back home,
happy.

The Stone
In the big state of New York, there are many cities, the biggest one of which is the city of New
York. Living there was a kid called Kyle. He was the smartest in the school. After school he played with
his friends. They tossed their lucky stone from one to another. They used a bad method, so they hit
Kyle on the head. Kyle felt like he was betrayed. He went home with his stone and immediately laid on
his bed КiЗh his head sКelliБg heavilМ. (e fell asleeГ…
And then, a nightmare cane in his sleep. He was in Iraq, being chased by terrorists armed with
AK-47s. He ran and ran and fell in a hole. They surrounded him, but soon left. He was happy, but there
was also a bomb in the hole. He wondered which wire to cut. TheБ he КВke ИГ…
His father was next to him and the pain was gone. He laughed all day, and told everybody about
the dream.

The Magic Umbrella
There was a kid called Eric Cartmann. He had a birthday, and got an umbrella. He loved his
umbrella and used it even when it was as dry as a desert. So, summer came and Eric had to go on a
vacation. The first thing he took was the umbrella. He held it in his hands all the way down to the bus
sЗaЗiВБ…
But when the bus came, he was so excited to leave that he forgot the umbrella on the chair
beside him. He realized what he did after the bus started, but could do nothing about it.
The jaБiЗВЕ Вf Зhe sЗaЗiВБ fВИБd Зhe ИАbЕella aБd becaИse he Кas ГВВЕ aБd didБ’З have money,

Old Macedonian Architecture
Long, long time ago in medieval times, all the people mostly lived in big castles, made by the
very, very rich vassals or kings. They also lived in small square shapes made of old wood. But when
the Ottoman Empire took Macedonia in their grasp, things changed. People were forced to become
Muslims, and with that everything had to be changed. The Ottomans built a lot of public buildings that
had different style. With that, the style of the architecture of the houses changed. They were made of
clay, wood and broken stone. Mainly, the houses are two stories high. The richer people had white
outer walls, but the poor had unpainted walls. Now, these old houses are historical monuments that
can tell thousands of stories.

This Is a Painter
The painters paint beautiful paintings which amaze the people and capture their feelings.
While not all modern paintings are beautiful, some older paintings are known very well, like the Mona
Lisa fВЕ eЛaАГle. The ГaiБЗeЕs caБ’З ГaiБЗ КiЗh ВБlМ one color. There are more ways to paint a
painting, from using sprays to water colors. The canvas is very complex, and painters use it to tell
people how old a painting is.

The Strange Face
Slowly but very surely the sky was filling with darkness. The usually very bright castle during
daytime, was now illuminated only by the yellow moon. Even though the castle was enormous, there
was only one tall tower rising. By the castle there was a river running. And very close to this river
there was a huge tree throwing one magnificent dark shadow on the ground.
On the tower, there was only one window. And a strange face looking at the countryside.
Walking towards the tree was a black cat, and apparently this was interesting for the strange face in
the tower. When the black cat reached the tree, there was a loud bang on the door at the tower. And
this was a sign of hope for the mysterious man.

High Society Outcast
The seed of doubt had officially entered her mind, and she was certainly losing her perspective
in this unfair world, that she referred to as a dystopia. She still remembered the time when she was a
part Вf NeК YВЕk’s high sВcieЗМ. The abaБdВБАeБЗ she sИffeЕed fЕВА heЕ faАilМ aБd fЕieБds Кas sЗill
visible in her eyes. This easily became an issue for this young woman. She had a thirst for revenge.
Living in this world was undoubtedly a struggle, and she had no intention of giving up. At night, she
still hears the whispering of the people that banished her from the life of luxury she used to have.
French Seduction
Halfway through his vacation in the Seychelles, the young actor Brandon Hartley, as the
tabloids referred to him - AБ aЕЕВgaБЗ, БaЕcissisЗic, egВЗisЗical ГhilaБdeЕeЕ , Кas ГleasaБЗlМ sИЕГЕised
when he heard that a prominent French socialite was staying at his hotel. The Seychelles in the middle
Вf 50’s КeЕe ceЕЗaiБlМ cВБsideЕed aБ eЛclИsive vacation spot, hence there were numerous actors,
actresses, film directors, musical prodigies, models, socialites, etc. The only thing in his mind was
meeting the fancy French heiress, who was considered to be a highly attractive young woman. Her
name was Celine Belmont, and she was an heiress of a successful perfume brand.
Sitting by the beach bar and drinking a refreshing alcoholic cocktail, he realized that a crowd of
ГaГaЕaННi aБd ЕeГВЕЗeЕs Кas АakiБg ЗheiЕ КaМ aЕВИБd Зhe hВЗel’s ГЕivaЗe beach. As a Бarcissistic
individual he was expecting to be their target, but apparently he was mistaken. The crowd piled up
around the French heiress, who by then was surrounded by large black umbrellas and tall bodyguards

in black suits. The hotel security was doubled the next day, making the French heiress absolutely
ИБЗВИchable. WhМ is she sВ Кell-ГЕВЗecЗed? he asked hiАself.
After receiving a number of phone calls about future motion pictures from his trusty agent, his

left there was her semi-eАГЗМ АaЕgaЕiЗa glass КiЗh a decВЕaЗive ГaГeЕ ИАbЕella. (ВК sМАbВlic! he
exclaimed in his head.
The next day, at around the same time as day before, the actor and the untouchable socialite
were seated on the places as the day before –much like a déjà vu. This time with a faster tempo of
walking, without any distractions, he came so close to the socialite, and gently placed his hand on her
shoulder.
Lâchez-moi! she eЛclaiАed. DesГiЗe not speaking French, he was aware what she said, since
he had seen the film Belle de Jour with Catherine Deneuve. It meant – LeЗ Аe gВ! WiЗhВИЗ aБМ ВЗheЕ

The Aqueduct
The aqueducts are highly advanced Roman water systems and are among the greatest
achievements of the ancient world. The running water, indoor plumbing and swewer system were
carrying disease away from the population. Some of these ancient structures are still in use today in
various capacities.
The Roman aqueducts were extraordinarily sophisticated structures. They were built from a
combination of stone, brick and special volcanic cement. The visible remains leave a great impression,
the biggest part of the water system ran bellow the ground. For example, out of 260 miles of the
aqueduct system only 30 miles consisted of the visible arched structures.
The city of Rome was supplied with water through 11 aqueducts built throughout 500 years.
These aqueducts were about 420 – 500 km long with about 47 km above ground. The aqueducts were
used to carry water to the mines, the mills and of course the baths. Every great city in the empire was
supplied by the aqueduct. The entire system relied upon various gradients and the use of gravity to
maintain a continuous flow. The whole idea and the engineering of these aqueducts at the time were
remarkable.

Saints Cyril and Methodius
Saints Cyril and Methodius were two Byzantine brothers born in Thessaloniki in the 9th
century. They became missionaries of Christianity among the Slavic peoples of Great Moravia and
Pannonia. They are credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet, the first alphabet used to transcribe
the Old Church Slavonic language. After their deaths, their pupils continued their missionary work
among other Slavs. Both brothers are venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church as saints with the
ЗiЗle Вf EДИals ЗВ Зhe AГВsЗles.

Their father was Leo, and their mother was Maria, who may have been a Slav. The two brothers
lost their father when Cyril was only fourteen, and the powerful minister Theokristos became their
protector.
In 862, both brothers were to enter upon the work which gives them their historical
importance. That year the Prince Rostislav of Great Moravia requested that the emperor Michael III
and the Patriarch Photius send missionaries to evangelize his Slavic subjects. The Emperor quickly
chose to send Cyril, accompanied by his brother Methodius. Their first work seems to have been the
training of assistants. In 863, they began the task of translating the Bible into a language known as Old
Church Slavonic and travelled to Great Moravia to promote it. They enjoyed considerable success in
this endeavor. However, they came into conflict with German ecclesiastics who opposed their efforts
to create a specifically Slavic liturgy.
For the purpose of this mission, they devised the Glagolitic Alphabet, the first alphabet to be
used for Slavic manuscripts. The Glagolitic alphabet was suited to match the specific features of the
Slavic language and its descendant alphabet, the Cyrillic alphabet, is still used by many languages
today.

Mother Theresa
Mother Theresa was born in Skopje, on August 26, 1910. Her full name is Agnes Gonxha
Bojaxiu and she was an Indian-Catholic nun of Albanian origin who founded the Missionaries of
Charity in Calcutta, India in 1950. For 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned and dying,
while guiding the MissionaЕies Вf ChaЕiЗМ’s eЛГaБsiВБ, fiЕsЗ ЗhЕВИghВИЗ )Бdia aБd ЗheБ Зhe ВЗheЕ
countries. Following her death she was beatified by Pope john Paul II and given the title Blessed
Teresa of Calcutta.
Mother Teresa suffered a heart attack in Rome in 1983 while visiting Pope John Paul II. After a
second attack in 1989, she received an artificial pacemaker. In 1991 after a battle with pneumonia
while in Mexico, she suffered further heart problems.
In April 1996, Mother Teresa fell and broke her collar bone. In August she suffered from
malaria and failure on the left heart ventricle. She had heart surgery but it was clear that her health
was declining. When she fell ill she made the controversial decision to be treated at a well-equipped
hospital in California instead of her own clinics.
On March 13 1997, she stepped down from being the head of Missionaries of Charity. She died
on September 5, 1997.

Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great was one of the most powerful conquerors on the planet, along with
Genghis Khan. He was born in 352 B.C. and died in 323 B.C. His teacher was one of the most famous
philosophers in Ancient Greece. His parents were Philip the Second and his mother Olympia. He had
conquered over 16 cities. Unfortunately his conquering stopped on the borders of the former Persian
Empire. Soldiers tired of fighting were requesting days off back in Alexandria and Egypt.
It is believed that on a celebration, poison was poured into his glass, and his life ended quickly
and painless. Other theories say that he died from malaria. Alexander had one wife and her name was
Rosana, they had a kid named Alexander IV who died in battle when he was 14. After the death of
Alexander, his empire was divided amongst his generals.

Alexander the Great
Depicted on this picture is Alexander the Great. He was born in Pella, the ancient capital of
Macedonia. He was the son of Phillip II, the king of Macedonia, and son of Olympia, a princess of
Epirus. Philip and Olympia wanted nothing less than the best for their son, so when he was 13, his
parents hired Aristotle to be his personal tutor. Alexander was trained together with other children of

and alter ego. Aristotle gave Alexander a thorough training in rhetoric and literature and stimulated
his interest in science, medicine and philosophy. When Alexander was 16 his father Philip went to
Byzantium to fight rebels. Later, Alexander started to war with Persia with an army of 35.000
Macedonians and 7.600 Greeks. The Macedonian army soon encountered the Persian army under King
Darius III, at a crossing of the river Granicius, near the ancient city of Troy. Alexander lost only 110
men in the war and beat the enemy.

also uses heavy blues to accentuate the main focus of the painting – the boy attending a private school,
which is accomplished by adding subtle touches of red as well. From our brief interview, I was
informed that he found this young boy while he was teaching a two-week long art class at a Dutch
private school. Our interview ended on good terms as we agreed to continue collaborating in the
immensely versatile and fast-changing world of art.

Well, now Mickey is probably doomed. Meanwhile his father and sister and the other tourists left
the castle. His father thought that Mickey was following the group, so he didn't pay much
attention to him. They noticed that he wasn't there after they left the castle. The Guide quickly
called a crew that knows the castle. They came after an hour. It was about 7 o'clock when they
came.

Professor, I'm so sorry to inform you that count Dracula is alive and he comes out at night.
We're only going to be able to search the castle one hour tops. We can't promise anything. If
we don't find your son, the count will probably find him... I don't need to tell you what happens
next.

The crew searched the whole castle but didn't find Mickey. The professor demanded to search the
castle again, but the crew didn't want to, because it is night and Dracula is awake at night. The
professor wanted to let him go in the castle, but the police captured him and they all left the
place. They returned to the city and after two days the professor left Romania with his daughter.

Creative Writing Summer Workshop Highlights
With Merrilee Cunningham,
WITS Cultural Envoy,
July 12th
- 16th
, 2010, AC STIP
AC Stip, despite being the
youngest Corner in Macedonia,
had the honor of hosting
Merrilee Cu i gha ’s Creative
Writing Summer Workshop this
year. A total of 24 students ages
7 – 18 took part in the week-long
event, which ended with great
success for all participants!
The interactive and creative
nature of the course was more than enough to keep all participants very interested and engaged in what
they were doing. The participants were split into two groups (ages 7 – 12 and 13 – 18, respectively), and
according to their age they took part in an array of different brainstorming, writing, and interactive
activities.
Under Merrilee’s guidance, both AC Stip staff
(Dushan and Marija) took the roles of assistant
teachers and, along with the help of PCVs Rachel
Schaar and Daniel Pickel, ensured that the
participants enjoyed the many inspiring tasks and
word-play games, helping them channel their
creativity into many interesting pieces of writing.
For example, the Found Poetry activity consisted of
the participants choosing and collecting five or
more words randomly scattered throughout the
Corner (done by Merrilee and Dushan), which they
would later use in their poems or short stories.

53
53
Motivation was kept high as every participant enjoyed
the overwhelming fun of the whole course spiced up
with some light competitiveness, which helped every
kid and teenager invest their best in what was put on
paper.
Furthermore, an interesting array of prizes was awarded. The Best
so Far awards were assigned each day, in order to honor the
talent and work of the young writers in several different areas
(Best Short Story so Far, Best Haiku so Far, etc.), while the Best of
the Best awards were given at the completion of the workshop,
which culminated in a total of six collaborative plays, written and
enacted by the participants of the course.
Finally, the certificates that the U.S. Embassy
provided were also awarded to each participant,
by both Merrilee and AC Stip staff. As a cherry on
top, an Anthology of the writings is also in the
making, and will soon be publicly shared.

54
54
To conclude, AC Stip was very glad to have
Merrilee Cunningham coming to Stip and
helping young writers express themselves,
taking their first steps on the road of art’s
never-ending journey. Stip’s young writers
are more than interested in welcoming
Merrilee, the American friend, bard and poet,
in their home town again.
