Distributing Food in Kazakhstan

In Kazakhstan, the League of Volunteers of Kazakhstan Public Fund is dedicated to helping those in need. Fourteen-year-old Nargiz Nurmetova volunteers with this organization and helps to distribute food during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Of her experience volunteering she said, “I wasn’t glad that I managed to deliver food to only 20 war veterans in the first days of lockdown. But then I remembered the eyes of these people… Unfortunately, people help them once a year, on May 9. Therefore, they were truly happy when they knew we took extra care of them. I know that I have done a lot.”
