Events

For our best students from Voenno-Antonovka orphanage we organized visit to the concert performed by Saints-Petersburg dancing theater “Temptation”. The founder of this theater originally from Kyrgyzstan and every year comes with new grandiose performance.

“On January 25, our team of the “Travel, Discover, Help” project together with our wards from the military Antonov orphanage had a very useful and fun time, namely, we went to the training of the Ultimate Frisbee.

Ultimate Frisbee is a fairly new sport for our country, but it is rapidly gaining a popularity among young generation. It is a team game very close to football by pace and speed. At that training day, our guys familiarized with the main piece “disk” which is also called Frisbee. Then they were divided into several groups where they were able to practice three main types of throws or passes.

It is not possible to play this game alone, only in a team. As the guys learned the basis, they were able to show a very good result in the second part of the training. This training once again showed our children how important it is to be united and act as one body on a field, and, of course, drawing a parallel with a life. We tried to show them that it is very difficult to remain alone in life, and only together we can achieve results in any field.

Our regular trip of the project “Travel, Discover, Help” was not that regular at all, but remarkable and memorable.”

This eve we found interesting way to celebrate upcoming Christmas and New Year together with our children from Voenno-Antonovka orphanage. Sky Park amusement center was a very good idea to go and spend the time great.

Sky park amusement center is about to jump on the trampolines, slide down from hills, climb up big nets – all that children like and successfully do. Even our Travel Discover Help team felt themselves young carefree children as we think it is very important sometimes to switch off from routine and life problems.

This is it in 2018. It was very interesting and rich with events for all our Ak-Sai family and Travel Discover Team in particular.

Next year we plan another interesting studding course for our wards. We are going to share with it in 2019.

There is a long way ahead and we are not going to stop on what we’ve reached. There are many useful things to put into the “Green Suitcase” of our children and we will do our best to succeed.

Here we are saying good bye to our wards in 2018 and looking forward to see them in 2019.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!!

News from the fields of Travel Discover Help! Last Thursday we conducted our traditional football championship among different orphanages and boarding schools.

Travel Discover Help team together with children of Voenno Antonovka orphanage went on a trip to Karakol town and around Issyk Kul Lake on the last weekend.

There were 31 passengers in total and 26 of them are children from 6 to 9th year of studding in school. Those children take part in all our meetings and courses of learning English language. They are considered inside of our concept so called “Green suitcase”.

All the time of the trip we had good weather conditions. Our first stop happened in the house of Almaz – craftsman’s house on the south shore of Issyk Kul Lake in Kyzyl Tuu village. Almaz and his family create yurts or “Booz ui”, traditional nomadic house that passed through the time of Middle Ages and came to the present.

Almaz was happy to share with his knowledge, told about all the intricacies and nuances of his craft and then, our children had chance to practice in constructing yurt.

Next our stop was in Kajy Sai village. Here we met the real local eagle hunter who showed us his special hunting dogs – Taigans and the Golden Eagle itself with elements of hunting. It was great to see the skill of the bird, but instead of the real prey, hunter used prepared in advance fake skin of a jackal.

Later we headed to Karakol town where tasty dinner and warm bed were waited for us.

On the next morning we visited memorial complex devoted to Przewalski and Karasaev at first. It was the first time when children met those two outstanding scientists, who did a great job in sphere of geography, botany and linguistic of Central Asia, Mongolia and China.

There were two more interesting objects in Karakol town that we visited: Dungan mosque and Orthodox Cathedral name after Saint Trinity. Mosque and Church are two the most important and famous sights of Karakol town.

After delicious lunch in a local family house, we headed to the picturesque gorge Djety Oguz. First stop we did near the “Broken Heart” rock to listen one of the legend of this place. Went a little bit further by bus and then walked up the hill to enjoy the magnificent view of the Djety Oguz – 7 Bulls.

Here we split on 2 teams and organized winter battle with snowballs. Our team decided to put an idea into this, at a glance children’s, game. Rules of the battle wasn’t fair in the beginning as one team had opportunity to move freely around, another team supposed to stay at one spot and fight back to all attacks from different sides. With this game we tried to touch unfair reality and discussed it with children afterwards.

After active games on the open air we came back to Karakol town where we had tasty dinner.

The third day – the day of departure back to Bishkek. This time we took the way along the north shore of Issyk Kul Lake, where our adventures got continuation. Near the village Chon Oruktu we visited hot springs where the children had the great fun jumping and swimming in the hot clean water. It was interesting to observe how children enjoy the moment. It seemed for us that hot summer came to Kyrgyzstan unexpectedly. Later this day we safely arrived to Bishkek, tired but very happy.

This was our weekend in Travel Discover Help project, interesting and rich with events. Our children told us that they will remember this forever.

3 years of the project TDH passed, we, as well as our wards, are moving ahead. We always develop and look for the right direction for our energy not to be wasted.

We see the great benefits of this work as the lives of our children are changing. This is a long way, but we are not going to stop on what we achieved.
