21 August 2013 | Views: 1309 [ In advance of the autumn we start the regular calculation of our “chickens” – potential and new participants of the “Educational “ and “Alem” Projects, who became the possessors of grants from Saby Foundation for the education in higher and secondary educational institutions. Though the season of entrances to universities and colleges is still in full, some results can be presented already now. It has become obvious once again, that preparatory courses of CNT (common national testing), organized by our Foundation every year from September till May for children from boarding schools of Almaty, showed good results. More than half of school leavers, attending lessons in 2012-2013, received either state educational grants or grants from Akim. We are, certainly, glad at both these school leavers’ personal successes and the fact that we can, thanks to the saved money, pay for the education of other children, who were not so lucky with state grants, but showed their best qualities and proved their perspective. |

22 July 2013 | Views: 1240 Peer at figures of daily report on receipts to current account of donations from benefactors, we begin to think constantly that one man allowed time in his undoubtedly tight schedule, came to bank or QIWI payment terminal and transfer money for kindness.

We want so much to make acquaintance personally with everyone and say thank you for tender heart and responsiveness, for active life philosophy and doings changing to the good the heavy destinies of other people. |

17 July 2013 | Views: 1645 Mahatma Gandhi [/b] (1869-1948) — one of the leaders and ideologist of the national liberation movement of India. His philosophy of non-violence Satyagraha had an impact on national and international movements of those who supported peaceful changes. He rejected violence in any form. For more than 30 years he persistently preached his philosophy and finally proved the effectiveness of non-violence policy to the whole world when India peacefully gained independence from Britain thanks to Gandhi’s efforts in 1947. But a savage struggle broke out between religious groups for the right to dictate their will to the government in the awakening country. The year of 1947 ended with bitter disappointment for Gandhi. He kept proving the fatuity of violence but nobody seemed to listen to him. In January 1948, in a desperate attempt to stop the interethnic strife Mahatma Gandhi resorted to a hunger strike. He explained his decision this way: “Death will become a miraculous escape for me. It is better to die than to be a helpless eyewitness of India’s self-destruction”. |
