Our proudest moment of the past year:
“During the realization, ‘Removing Boundaries’ project, we opened the first inclusive center in Kazakhstan for people with disabilities. The opening of the office was the most memorable moment when we saw the result of our hard work.”

Biggest challenge from the past year:
“For our ‘ADAM’ project it was difficult with us to communicate with the prisoners, since they acquire different moral principles being in prison. We have learned how to approach each of our beneficiaries.”

Team described in one word:
Self-motivated.
