Dear Friends,

April 26th, 2015 is a special day in our calendar - Presidential Elections! Even if we are miles away from Kazakhstan, our vote still counts! It's our constitutional right to vote and we drove all the way from State College to Washington, DC, to take a part in the perfectly-organized event followed by warm tea talks.

Special thanks to Askhat Mukashev, Anvar Kulmagambetov, Artur Akhmetov, and Dalel Ismagulov

Voters from Penn State: Damira, Gaukhar, Aliya, Aygo, Жайлагуль, Zarina, Askar, Azamat, Dauren, Ablay

С днем космонавтики!
Хотелось бы поделиться любимым отрывком из поэмы Олжаса Сулейменова "Земля, поклонись человеку", посвященной Юрию Гагарину:
"..Разгадай:
Почему люди тянутся к звездам!
Почему в наших песнях
Герой — это сокол!
Почему все прекрасное,
Что он создал,
Человек, помолчав.
Называет — Высоким!
Реки вспаивают поля.
Города над рекой —
В заре,
И, как сердце, летит Земля,
Перевитая жилами рек.
Нелегко проложить пути
До вчерашних туманных звёзд.
Но трудней на земле найти
Путь,
Что в сердце своем пронёс.
Что рекою прошёл по земле.
Что навеки связал города.
Что лучом бушевал во мгле.
Освещая твои года.
Нелегко,
Но ты должен найти
Путь,
Что в сердце до звёзд
Донес,
Путь земной — продолженье пути
До сегодняшних ярких звёзд...
"

On Saturday, March 28, the most passionate members of KSA, Zhailagul, Akerke, Azamat and Nursultan shared our culture on the International Children's Festival!

At their cultural activity table American children at ages 2-12 learned about Kazakh history, geography, created Kazakh ornaments and played the games.

Thank you for your active involvement!
