The minister Kudaibergen Bazarbaev noted at the opening ceremony that two names have become a symbol of free will in Kyrgyzstan — Toktogon Altybasarova, who at the age of 16 adopted 150 evacuated children, and Esther Singer, whose name symbolizes thousands of children who went through all the hardships of evacuation and were sheltered by the Kyrgyz land.
The minister also noted that well-being, freedom and choice, family environment for every child are the values that are put at the forefront of the policy of the President Sadyr Japarov.

The area of social security in the Kyrgyz Republic has received unprecedented attention in recent years. Orphans, children from low-income families, children with disabilities receive priority attention from the state,» he said.
Kudaibergen Bazarbaev is in Israel for a working visit and has already discussed with his Israeli colleague the employment opportunities of Kyrgyzstanis in this country. The delegation also includes the Deputy Minister of Education Rasul Abazbek uulu.
