Equipping School No. 21 with Interactive Displays and Lockers in Bel-Aldy
A major phase in outfitting the Y. Alymbekov School No. 21 has successfully concluded. Thanks to joint efforts and an effective co-funding approach, the educational facility is moving toward a whole new level of development.
📊 Key Highlights and Facts:
- 6 interactive displays were installed during the previous academic year.
- 12 modern displays and 60 metal lockers (with 480 individual compartments) were delivered this academic year.
- The school is now fully equipped with modern technology and a solid material base to conduct interactive lessons, open classes, and standardized test preparation (ORT).
The defining feature of this project is the initiative of the residents themselves. The local community generated the idea for school development, while Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic stepped in as a supportive partner. By combining the resources of residents, local authorities, and Toktogul development funds, we implemented a co-funding approach. This empowers the community to drive positive local change, make meaningful contributions, and build greater self-reliance.
The new interactive displays make lessons engaging and dynamic, while the metal lockers save children from carrying heavy textbooks from home, protecting their posture and overall health.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all partners, funds, and local community members for their dedication and investment in the younger generation! Together, we are creating a strong foundation for high-quality education and a bright future for our children. 💚

Instagram video interview with the school management
From May 16 to 18, 2026, a practical training on “Developing Practical Beekeeping Skills in Real Conditions with a Focus on Effective Bee Colony Management and Maintaining Hive Health” was held in the villages of Bel-Aldy, Sary-Sogot, and Korgon.
The training was organized for local beekeepers to enhance their professional knowledge and develop practical skills necessary for successful beekeeping operations. The training was conducted by Muzaffer Yusupov, an experienced beekeeping expert from TES CENTRE, who has dedicated more than 40 years of his professional career to this field.
Over the course of three days, participants refreshed their existing knowledge, learned about modern approaches to bee colony management and disease prevention, and discussed methods for increasing apiary productivity. Special attention was given to the practical aspects of hive maintenance and effective beekeeping management.
The final day of the training took place directly at a local apiary, where participants had the opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge under the guidance of the expert. This hands-on learning format enabled beekeepers not only to reinforce theoretical concepts but also to receive answers to practical questions arising in their daily work.
We hope that the knowledge and skills gained through this training will help participants improve the efficiency of their operations, prevent potential losses, and increase the income of their households. Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic remains committed to supporting initiatives aimed at developing sustainable sources of income and improving the well-being of local communities.
A face-to-face preparatory session was held at A. Tokombaev School Complex in Kamyshanovka village, Kok-Chu Community Development Project (CDP), as part of the Global Youth Network (GYN) program. Students received orientation and preparation for upcoming exchange activities and actively participated in the first sessions of the program. During the meeting, participants introduced themselves, shared information about their schools and interests, and actively engaged in communication and experience-sharing activities.
Global Youth Network is an international program of Good Neighbors International that brings together children and young people from different countries to promote global citizenship, leadership, and social responsibility. The project aims to increase awareness of global challenges and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while developing collaboration, communication, and active civic engagement skills among youth.
Participants will take part in a series of training sessions and practical activities designed to strengthen their understanding of global issues and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as to develop leadership, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.
Through participation in the program, students are expected to expand their knowledge of global challenges, enhance their communication, teamwork, and leadership skills, and become more active contributors to addressing issues within their communities.
