Alamedin trip
On May 17th the Alpine Fund together with Novi Nomad Travel Agency organized a trip to Alamedin Valley. We took many kids because Novi Nomad covered the transportation expenses and gave a huge bus and Alpine Fund was responsible for coordinating of the kids and for cooking food for everyone.
This time we went to the other place called “Teoplye Kluchi” where we’ve never been before. When we were going to the morning it was raining but when we arrived the rain stopped and it became warm and sunny.
Kids started to hike up to the mountains with Salavat, Alpine Fund intern, Saltanat and Aizada, two girls from Novi Nomad. Saltanat told kids about Kyrgyzstan’s flora. And Aizada took a lot of pictures. Unfortunately we had problems with our camera but a little later we will get pictures from Saltanat then I can post them on the blog.
There were 4 parents who also helped us too. It is quite difficult to coordinate 40 kids. The rest of the interns stayed for cooking “PLOV”. Sanjar-baike took a big Kyrgyz kazan so we could cooked enough plov for everybody. After the lunch boys went to play soccer and girls wanted to hike once more.
There has been a journalist from “Vecherni Bishkek”. They interviewed Arianna-eje and Saltanat. They asked about Alpine Fund and Saltanat had questions about “Trekking Union” where she works for.
And couple days ago we have seen Arianna-eje on Kyrgyz National Channel. It was good interview. Everyone was like look, look they talk about Alpine Fund and our trip!
