That's great to hear, Svetlana!
I am one of the Etoys developers, and I am curious to know if you have the Etoys activity pre-installed. I know you provided a Pashto translation, but we have had no feedback if that works at all.
Also I'd be interested in seeing your teacher material. But the English-language ZIP file seems to be corrupt:

Thanks!
