On December 5, 2023, in honor of the International Day of Volunteers, as part of the week of volunteers (December 4-10), the Department for Educational, Social Work and Youth Policy of the Abai Kazakh National University organized the departure of university volunteers to the house of a lonely elderly mother.

Volunteers helped a lonely elderly mother in cleaning doors, harvesting winter fuel and performing work in the household. In turn, an elderly woman expressed gratitude to the volunteers of our university.
