Gifts of the Foundation

Recently 15 foster children from the regional orphanage №1 who had been awarded with the vacation package for the win in open football championship among foster children in Kazakhstan came back from Italy. Prior their trip they applied to the Fund ‘Sabee’ with request to devote necessary funds for their pocket expenses.

We decided that we must help children who were into luck to travel to one of the most beautiful cities of the world. Owing to this help young sportsmen were able to see the famous football stadium ‘Giuseppe Meazza’, they met famous football players, visited museums and architectural monuments and, of course, they enjoyed quite enough in local aqua-park, which was wonderful termination of summer holiday. The travel was complete and very interesting.

Once more we congratulate all children, participated in the championship, and wish them further wins in sport!

Probable every one of us has repeatedly got into a situation when sorting out their clothes to find quite nice items you for some reason do not wear that much. You don’t simply throw such clothes away because you could still make use of them.

But whom can you give such dressing who will accept used clothes items? That was the question people residing in the capital addressed us.

Having quite an extensive experience we suggested those residents addressing just the right organization – the Regional Public Society Kazakhstan Confederation of the Disabled in Astana. Several pairs of footwear, garments, outwear and other clothes items for everyday life found new masters.

If you have got something, you would like to donate, please, call us: + + 7 7172 336033, 336083.

State Child Library Named after S. Begalin is the old friend of Saby Foundation. The whole activity of the library is targeted for the benefit of children, who visit homelike reference rooms and do not imagine their life without an interesting book.

But children visit the library not only with the aim of reading. In “Begalinka” library they can master their computer and Internet skills, watch movies and listen to music. Besides, different groups, working on the basis of the library, engrain the love of boys and girls for creativity. Here they learn to draw, sculpt, do crafts, and try themselves as actors in the child-juvenile theater and many other things.

Saby Charitable Foundation supported different projects and undertakings of this organization repeatedly or just delivered over presents and books for little visitors of the library.

Now we gladly help to equip theatrical workshop with musical instruments so that young actors can play onstage and provide music in performances. You never can tell, maybe, for some of them the long way in art will begin from this first steps.

Recently foster children of Boarding School #1 of Almaty city, who attend carpenter hobby group, were gifted by our Foundation with perforating machine, disc electric saw, rubbing machine, jigsaw and spare parts. These work tools became additional to already purchased before New Year two kits of carpenter tools.

We decided to give boys an opportunity to vary their kinds of activity. Indeed, the skill to manage with house tools handily will help future men to develop their own independent living conditions, these skills could not have come at a better time when search for a job. Perhaps, some boys will choose the profession of furniture maker, carpenter or a woodworker. Meanwhile young masters try to make boot shelves for the whole boarding school.

Early labor training is the important part of socialization and adaptation into society for graduates of boarding schools. That is why Saby Foundation tries to reply only to such requests of the management of institutions and present only ‘useful’ gifts.

Population of our multinational country celebrates all kinds of holidays with great relish. Besides state and religious holidays Kazakhstan people like to celebrate different thematic holidays such as Saint Valentine’s Day, Halloween or Thanksgiving Day. The last one people started to celebrate three years ago in all educational institutions including orphanages and boarding schools, where orphaned children and children, left without parental care, express their gratitude to people, who help them to establish in their lives: tutors, volunteers, philanthropists and all who takes part in children’s destiny.

There were many guests in our affiliated boarding school No. 1 of Almaty city on the 29th of November. Foster children of the institution prepared in honor of Thanksgiving Day a performance for adults, exhibited their creations and treated guests with different delicate dishes. The main aim of these warm-hearted meetings is the ethic and mental development of children, upbringing of self consciousness and a sense of duty, development of creative and working skills. Such happy almost family events allow children to feel love and concern.

Though, boys and girls thanked their sponsors, the guests came with presents too. As usually, Saby Charitable Foundation with useful surprise – two big sets of tools for carpentry. Teenagers, who attend ‘Do it yourself’ group, liked these presents very much. Young masters promised to do with their own hands shelves for shoes for the whole boarding school and to demonstrate their creations at the next meeting.

We must admit that small charitable acts are not held by our Foundation very often. As a rule we work in projects designed and approved beforehand. But if there is the opportunity, even if it’s small, to improve the life of our fosterlings, we never miss it.

Thus with the participation of Merkuriy 1999 LLP our old-sponsored Children’s House of Karakastek village of Zhambyl region of Almaty province received as a present two king-size sets of Italian cushioned furniture for 30 persons. And the half-round sofas can probably accommodate all the kids.

Social service officers not spoilt by generosity of sponsors accepted the present with gratitude. Besides there is always a lack of furniture in the premise.

Now the halls where older children watch TV programs and which were empty before as well as the rooms for meeting of children with parents will be furnished with large cozy sofas, parts of which can be interchanged allowing to create a new comfortable space.

Recently we had a children’s matinee at the “Shymbulak” Children’s Tuberculosis Sanatorium where the Father Frost gave its numerous gifts to all – two hundred children, without exception.

This event was made possible thanks to numerous efforts of several young Almaty young girls – the great friends of “Saby”, who came to us with an idea to congratulate those children from socially unprotected families on these coming New Year holidays.

Without any doubts, we have decided to make New Year Gifts to young patients of “Shymbulak” Sanatorium. The vast majority of children came here for rehabilitation treatment – children from large and incomplete families – children for whom it is a great pleasure to have any present or gift even the little one.

Young girls have transferred a significant amount to the Foundation being enough to purchase not only traditional bags of candy, but wonderful sets of winter accessories (hats, scarves, gloves).

Now the kids are not afraid of being cold, and we say a lot of thanks to our benefactors for doing that!

Even the most qualitative overhaul carried out according to the up-to-date standards claims attention after a lapse of a certain time. Moreover, if an orphanageis to be overhauled where about 200 children live and are brought up at the same time.

So, the infant school and the dining facility of the Almaty Specialized Complex «Zhanuya» both built some years ago by our Foundation need renovating as well. And though, due to a careful attitude of pupils and attention of the personnel, the same is in good condition generally, it is necessary to refresh the appearance thereof by the new academic year.

To this effect, Saby Foundation has remitted the required sum to the settlement account of «Zhanuya» to purchase building materials for routine repairs therein.

Recently our sponsoring friends transferred Kazakh national holiday costumes for adults and children as well as musketeer costumes to the Foundation.

And we, in our turn, decided to present them to the Children’s City Library named after S. Begalin, which personnel and regular constant readers arrange for various costume theatrical holidays on a regular basis, each time presenting a real fairy-tale to their spectators at all times not similar to the previous one.

We are sure that the said gift will become an appropriate support in a further development of creative activity of the library.
