From February 13 to February 17, 2012 the Nomad’s Way socio-cultural campaign took place in New York, an ideological inspirer, organizer and sponsor of which was the President of the Saby Foundation Aselle Tasmagambetova. Nine months of hard work of the whole team were required to prepare for the event to the maximum extent possible and to carry it out at the highest level. The result was not long in coming – the Nomad’s Way was called a “grand event” and “discovery of Kazakhstan” by foreign mass media.
The event was timed to the anniversary date of our Republic – the 20th anniversary of Independence. It was intended to present to the world a rich historical heritage and cultural identity of Kazakhstan and it included an exhibition of ornamental arts of the ancient craftsmen of the Kazakh zergers and the charity auction.
An exhibition of artifacts from the unique private collection of Imangali Tasmagambetov, which currently occupies a worthy place in the State Museum of Kazakhstan, became a real discovery for the American audience, scarcely acquainted with the culture of Kazakhstan. The art of the ancestors of the Kazakh people has a long history and reached its highest level. A special place is occupied by the jewelry, which has been created mainly for the decoration of women’s suit and has amazed by its creative ideas and polysyllabic technology. Each master’s work is unique not only because of its historical value, but also due to its deep symbolism: every detail, every trait of the creation carries a certain value.
Inspired by these antique masterpieces, the world-famous jewelry houses of Europe and America – Avakian, de Grisogono, Jacob & Co, Chopard, Chatila, have made especially for the Saby Foundation the unique adornments created in accordance with the best traditions of Kazakh people. The unrivaled masters of the current jeweler’s art have made unparalleled products, using in their works features of old specimens, archaeological evidences, ancient petroglyphs, interweaving inexplicably the wealth of historical heritage of the great nation and recognizable personal mastery of contemporary artists.
These adornments were presented as lots at a charity auction, beneficiary of which became the Alem Young Talents Support Program, which now takes a significant place in the activities of the Saby Foundation and is aimed at talented and promising young people from provinces of Kazakhstan, for the purpose of creation of economic and organizational prerequisites for their intellectual and creative development, life formation and social self-fulfillment.
Unquestioning success of the event confirmed again the correctness of the chosen activities of our Foundation.
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.
Traditionally we tell you about children, participants of the Alem Program for Support of Young Talents. Recently we have had a new person – Berik Tlepbergenov, a 1-year student of the Kazakh National Technical University named after K. Satpayev.
The young man was solicited for by the teaching stuff of the school where he studied and which he finished with honors. This school in the Atyrau region was visited by our colleague during an errand. Berik was praised for being highly motivated, literate and patriotic. Being a winner of numerous academic competitions, he won a government scholarship for study in one of Institutions of Higher Education of Almaty at a perspective technical specialty chosen by him. The young man is highly evaluated also by the fact that his teachers sent him some means to support his life in a big city. His mother, unfortunately, is not able to maintain her son because of her poor health.
Taking into account all pros and cons, the Foundation has adopted a decision to support the young man by accepting him to the “alemovtsy” team and granting him an academic scholarship for the whole period of education. Now when the period of lack of money has been left behind, Berik has to study zealously as there are new opportunities available for him in the largest city of the country, meanwhile Saby Foundation will be his reliable support!

Уважаемая Асель Имангалиевна!
В соответствии с проектом Благотворительного Фонда «Саби» «Инвалидам – достойную жизнь» ОО «Алматинское городское общество инвалидов» на безвозмездной основе получены два подъемных устройства. Данные подъемные устройства будут использованы службой «Инватакси» для транспортировки инвалидов по лестничным маршам.
Ваша поддержка очень важна и актуальна в свете положений Конвенции о правах инвалидов, которая требует, чтобы инвалиды не исключались из общественно-политической жизни по причине инвалидности и имели доступ ко всем объектам социальной инфраструктуры. Использование данных подъемных устройств для транспортировки инвалидов по лестничным маршам с разных этажей и позволит им на более качественном уровне получать транспортные услуги «Инватакси».
Правление ОО «Алматинское городское общество инвалидов» благодарит Вас за предоставленные подъемные устройства!
Искренне желаем Вам и Вашим коллегам по работе здоровья и благополучия, бодрости духа и неувядаемой энергии, успехов во всех Ваших делах!
С уважением,
Председатель АГОИ А. Аманбаев
Выражаю слова искренней благодарности коллективу Благотворительного Фонда «Саби» за взаимное сотрудничество и оказанную помощь.
Благодаря поддержке Фонда стало возможным осуществление проектов и программ, направленных на оказание помощи людям с ограниченными возможностями.

It became rather traditional to see motor vehicles with blue “dams” used for the purposes of free transport services to wheelchair users on the roads of our City.
But a great number of requests being addressed to the “Invataxi” Dispatcher Service show a significant deficiency in these special vehicles (being acquired for and donated to the Almaty Society of the Disabled) to meet the current needs of disabled people. In this regard, the “Saby” Charitable Foundation decided to enlarge the park fleet of the “Invataxi” Service in Almaty with another two Volkswagen Caddies.
It became possible thanks to our sponsor, LLP “KazRosGas”, which in line with its Policy of Corporate Social Responsibility has allocated the required funds for the purposes of implementing the “Decent Life to Disabled People” Project.
In the first half of the summer the given transport vehicles will be delivered to Almaty and immediately put into operation.
