Samal Islyamova, the best actress of the year at the Cannes Film Festival, won a great and deserved recognition. Danelia Tuleshova took an honorable place in the prestigious international contest “Junior Eurovision”. For example, our chess players Dinar Sadvakasova and Zhansaya Abdumalikova entered the top 20 in the world. Incidentally, this has never happened before, ”said D. Abaev.

For 10 months, he gave about 70 laptops and computers to disabled children, cancer patients, orphans and children from needy families.
