On May 2, a group of alumni of U.S. government exchange programs U.S. Embassy staffers visited Akkol, a small village near Astana, to conduct an educational activity for children aimed at raising awareness of environmental and health issues. The event was organized by Kuralai Seitalina, a UGRAD alumna, to commemorate Earth Day. The children were divided into competing teams and rotated between four environmental and health stations, where they learned about water preservation, personal hygiene, healthy eating, and the dangers of smoking and littering. After completing the educational activities, the children competed in athletic competitions. The winning teams were awarded prizes, and both the organizers and the participants had a wonderful time.
