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.

We often share stories about our projects, support for children, and humanitarian missions. But we rarely show the faces of the people who make it all happen. Yet behind every report figure and every donation box, there are real people.
Today, we decided to change that. We set up a little challenge for our team: "Get a candy if you're not late for work." Some arrived right on time and got their sweet reward, while others missed out on candy today — but made it into our video instead 🍬
Why did we do this? Because we want you to get to know us better: not just through official reports and news, but through our everyday, authentic lives. We want to connect more, answer your questions, hear your thoughts, and simply be closer to you 🤗
So, let's get acquainted! 💚
