STEAM through Play: Children’s Day Celebrated in Bel-Aldy and Uch-Terek
As part of the International Children's Day celebrations, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized festive events for children in the Bel-Aldy and Uch-Terek Community Development Projects (CDPs) located in Toktogul District, Jalal-Abad Region. The events were held on June 3 in Bel-Aldy village and on June 4 in Uch-Terek village.
The events were implemented in close cooperation with the Abdy-Suerkulov and Uch-Terek local self-government bodies, as well as representatives of the local communities.
The concept of the events was developed based on the results of community needs assessments and focus group discussions. During the consultations, community members highlighted the limited opportunities for developing STEAM skills among children in schools and preschool institutions. In response to these identified needs, Good Neighbors organized educational activities using learning kits and creative games.
Throughout the events, children participated in various educational and creative games designed to strengthen logical thinking, creativity, communication skills, and teamwork.
By organizing activities across multiple communities, the initiative was able to reach a larger number of children and families living in remote areas, ensuring equal access to educational and recreational opportunities.
On 22 June 2024, Women’s Community Ayim, with the support of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized a trip to the mountains of Issyk-Ata district for persons with disabilities.
Participants have a number of difficulties in using transportation in the city and individual residential buildings do not allow our beneficiaries to go out freely due to the lack of the necessary infrastructure.
But on this day, the guys spent an unforgettable day outdoors, enjoying the nature of our country.
This trip also happened thanks to the sponsors: International Charity Organization United Arab Emirates – Ajman and Alfa and “Red Petroleum” gas station network!
