Bel-Aldy School Graduates Celebrate Their Graduation
On June 26, graduation ceremonies were held across the Kyrgyz Republic to celebrate students completing their secondary education. Among them were graduates from the villages of Bel-Aldy, Sary-Sögöt, Korgon, Sargata, and Uch-Terek in Toktogul District, Jalal-Abad Region. For these students, the day marked the successful completion of their school journey and the beginning of a new chapter in life.
To make this special occasion even more memorable, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic, through the project "Rural Youth Transition & Educational Motivation Initiative," prepared commemorative gifts and sweet treats for the graduates. These thoughtful tokens added warmth to the celebration, bringing even more joy and creating lasting memories of one of the most significant milestones in their lives.
We sincerely congratulate all graduates on completing their school education! May the knowledge and skills you have gained become a strong foundation for your future, and may your path ahead be filled with new opportunities, bold decisions, and remarkable achievements.
With age, regular diagnostics become vital, yet full medical check-ups in modern clinics are not always accessible to older people and pensioners due to high costs.
A significant number of elderly ethnic Koreans whose children have gone abroad to work reside in Bishkek and the Chuy region. According to a Good Neighbors study (2026), 77.9% of them suffer from vision problems, and 89.4% cannot afford private ophthalmologist services. Without timely treatment, people gradually lose their sight and end up isolated.
To remove this financial barrier, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic, together with the Korea Foundation for International Healthcare (KOFIH) and the Koryo-in Diaspora Association, launched a project for the free diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. The main outcome of such support is the timely detection of dangerous health conditions: during the exam, doctors identified a cataract in one of the participants for the first time and promptly referred her for surgery.
From an interview with a check-up participant:
Kim Lyudmila, representative of the Korean diaspora:
"Without this sponsored support, I would not have been able to visit such a modern clinic. I was examined, diagnosed with a cataract, and advised to undergo surgery. It is difficult for pensioners to pay for diagnostics, so we are deeply grateful for the care, attentive doctors, and excellent organization without any queues!"
