Successful completion of renovation and extension work of the kindergarten “Darman” in Osch supported by the German Embassy in Bischkek and the Aga Khan Foundation
The festive opening ceremony of the renovated and extended kindergarten “Darman” (situated in the district of Sherjomuschki in the city of Osch) took place on 8 February 2011 in the presence of Nurjehan Mawani (project leader representing the Aga Khan Development Network in the Republic of Kirgistan) and Holger Green (German ambassador). The kindergarten can now accommodate
ca. 200 children, which means a 50 percept increase of space. The children can now be assured of an enhancing learning environment and the staff of a motivating workplace. This is viewed as particularly crucial given the background that the events in June of last year destroyed many of the kindergarten in the south. The German ambassador stated that pre-school education is not only vital in developing the intellectual capacities of children, but also their social skills. This will enhance their understanding of respecting others and the need to live peacefully with people of different origin, nationality and culture. As such education is an important precondition for fostering human development. The renovation and extension was financially supported by the German Embassy in the context of their developmental cooperation with the Aga Khan development Network, facilitating the provision of quick and flexible help to improving the living conditions of disadvantaged communities.
