On June 26, graduation ceremonies were held across the Kyrgyz Republic, marking an important milestone in the lives of thousands of students as they completed their school journey and stepped into a future filled with new opportunities and possibilities.
Graduates from the schools supported by the Kok-Chu Community Development Project (Kok-Chu CDP) also celebrated this memorable occasion.

As part of the International Children's Day celebration, a festive event was held in the Kok-Chu Community Development Project (CDP) in Chuy Region. The event was organized by Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic in partnership with local self-government authorities and community representatives.
The event program was developed based on the results of the community needs assessment and focus group discussions, which identified children's need for greater opportunities to develop STEAM skills as well as access to interactive educational resources. In response to these identified needs, a program combining educational and recreational activities was designed.
During the celebration, children actively participated in educational and creative games provided by Good Neighbors. These activities helped develop logical thinking, creativity, communication skills, teamwork, and a practical approach to learning. The event format enabled children not only to enjoy the celebration but also to gain new knowledge and skills through engaging and educational activities.
The successful implementation of the event demonstrated the importance of partnership among local self-government authorities, local communities, and Good Neighbors in creating an enabling environment for children's development and expanding their access to quality educational and developmental opportunities.

As part of the event, 120 children received gifts provided by Good Neighbors. In addition, the Japalak Ayil Okmotu organized and distributed ice cream to the children, adding even more joy to the celebration.
