Garage sale

A Garage Sale was held at the Alykul Osmonov National Library on 29 October. The fair featured a variety of handicrafts, books, baked goods and much more. There was also a lottery where valuable prizes from our sponsors were raffled off. Young talents from the Kurenkeev College and the " Antre " ballet studio supported our fair with their great performances. Thank you to all our participants and sponsors for helping us in any way you could! At the Garage Sale, we collected 81720 soms.
