On 31 December, 2019, head of government K.K. Tokaev, addressing the people of Kazakhstan on New Year`s Eve with congratulations, declared 2020 the Year of Volunteers (https://kazakh-tv.kz/en/view/society/page_205496_2020-zhyl-eriktiler -zhyly-dep-zhariyalandy).

The Volunteer Club public association, which operates in Kazakhstan today, has been operating since 2010. Public activity and support of people in need by volunteers have always been among the socially significant and even political affairs.

The activities of volunteers in the field of education, including among teachers, are of great importance. It should be noted that the charity event «Білімге күнде 100 теңге» of the teaching staff of the Chair of Oriental Philology and Translation of the Institute of Philology and Multilingual Education of our university deserves special attention.

The successful volunteer activities of the Chair, initiated by the senior teacher Gulnaz Satbay, cannot but please our students.

In particular, the insignificant amount collected per person for 100 tenge per day was assigned to students who really need material support. Two students received money in the amount of a student scholarship - 26,000 tenge each.

The so-called «scholarship» was handed to one of the students by the volunteers themselves, while the second student, as he is in pedagogical practice, received it through a bank card.

According to Gulnaz Satbay, «Drop by drop - you get a lake. The money collected is a sincere donation of my dear friends, colleagues, neighbors, students and Instagram readers. I express my gratitude to those who, having responded, showed charity and joined the volunteer movement!».

The teaching staff of the chair, supporting the initiative of our volunteers, thanks them and hopes that they will continue the good work begun by them.
