NO TIME TO BE BORED
Last Saturday Oblast Akim Krymbek Kusherbayev met with the children being on vacation at Arai-Sunrise summer recreational camp.
Annually around 1,300 children from the oblast spend their summer vacation here building up their energy. During 18 years of its history Arai-Sunrise hosted more than twenty thousand boys and girls. During this period it has been sponsored by PetroKazakhstan Kumkol Resources JSC. The oil company spends around one hundred million tenge annually for Arai-Sunrise maintenance.
The camp has all conditions for quality rest and recreation of children. It implemented a new model of the educational program to enable children not only to have a good rest, but also to demonstrate their artistic talents. After modernization the camp is having economy and sports sections. There is also a soccer field with artificial turf and a swimming pool. Children master their skills in basketball, soccer, togyzkumalak and other sports.
Oblast Akim Krymbek Kusherbayev had a look at the camp operation. The region head particularly mentioned that thanks to support of the state head Nursultan Nazarbayev all conditions are created in the republic for adequate eduction and development of children. All state programs, starting from Balapan preschool program to Bolashak international scholarship program, are aimed at supporting the young generation.
Kyzylorda children were greeted by Qin Hongwei, Chairperson of the Board of PKKR JSC, who, in particular, emphasized that the company would continue its support for socially important projects, which would also include from now on the children village of family type.
For Akmaral Alibekova it’s the fifth year since she’s been working as a teacher at the camp. With choreography background she teaches children to dance.
‘I like this camp a lot’, Akmaral admits. ‘We make sure our kids do not stay unoccupied for not even a moment’. The time-off and classes schedule is designed for a whole day.
Typically they attend classes before lunch and in the evenings we prepare various events and sport competitions. Special attention is paid to labor nurturing of children.’
Arman Nurtay, the seventh year pupil, spends his second year in the camp and likes Arai-Sunrise like his other mates.’I went to summer children camps in our oblast and neighboring oblasts as well,’ the boy says. ‘And to tell the truth this place is much more interesting. I like playing soccer and the camp has a beautiful soccer field for this. Plus I had an old dream to learn to play guitar and I am having this wonderful opportunity in this camp. We have meals six times a day. But the most important thing is that I met many new friends’.
