How to make school meals healthy and eco-friendly? Experience of school principals from Toktogul
On August 25, 2026, a practical seminar titled "Organization of Healthy Nutrition in Schools" was held at the K. Chokoev School in Kotormo village. The event was organized by Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic as part of the "Green Schools for Healthy Nutrition" project.
School principals from Uch-Terek and Bel-Aldy rural areas gathered to study successful experiences in establishing school-adjacent farming: from growing apples, vegetables, and even bananas and lemons, to harvesting twice a season and building a specialized cellar for food storage.
Interview with a seminar participant:
Sharipova Jazgul Uchbaevna, Principal of the Mukash Zhamgyrkanov School, shared her impressions of the visit and plans for developing her school ground:
"Today we took part in the seminar and were greatly impressed. Our school has previously attempted to implement the Garden project for planting an apple orchard: we prepared suitable plots, submitted soil analysis results, and filed all necessary documents on time. This seminar inspired us once again! We will make every effort to establish our own apple orchard and a fully functioning school farm, and we also greatly count on your support in implementing this initiative."
School-adjacent farming is an effective and accessible tool that helps provide children with fresh produce, enrich daily hot meals, and strengthen the health of the younger generation!

One year ago, in the Asia Mall shopping center, in the Beauty Club area, a special place appeared — a charity corner of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic. This is a space where anyone can pause amidst the usual shopping hustle, play the piano, and bring warmth to children who are in great need of support. 🎹💚
Recently, our young musician AliHamza Esen (@alihamza_esen_) shared this wonderful video with us. How wonderful it is when music becomes the language of kindness, uniting people around one important goal. ❤️
All funds collected in the charity box go toward implementing Good Neighbors' charitable projects to support children and families in need.
We sincerely thank everyone who stops by our piano, plays, makes a donation, or simply supports this good initiative. It is thanks to you that music turns into real help, and together we give hope and create positive change.

On July 30, 2026, a training session on “Prevention of Emotional Burnout” was held for employees of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic.
The event was aimed at raising staff awareness about emotional burnout, its key signs, causes, and consequences, as well as introducing effective methods for prevention and maintaining emotional well‑being.
During the two‑hour program, participants engaged in a series of interactive sessions focused on practical mastery of self‑assessment tools and prevention of professional burnout. Throughout the training, employees examined risk factors and early warning signs of this condition. They then carried out practical exercises designed to identify individual risk factors and analyze professional resources.
Special attention was given to the topic of “Communication and Interaction” — participants explored effective teamwork skills, which are an essential component of resilience and burnout prevention. The program also included team reflection and practical activities.
The training served as an important platform for open dialogue and strengthening team collaboration, contributing to a positive working atmosphere and enhancing staff resilience to professional stress.
We extend our gratitude to our esteemed colleague Fatima Alymbekova f.mishaevna for her engaging program and professionalism.
