This project is very important for us and there are a lot of reasons. The school has become much brighter, an Automatic heating point has been installed, something that our school has lacked for many years. Since there has been a low temperature in our school for many years, to be honest, we have already become accustomed to it. But thanks to the project, it has now become much warmer in our walls, which was noticed by our students."  commented on the updates of the school Director Elena Valeryevna.

"I can report on our project. That is, there is already the first sign of a positive economic effect. We have calculated the electricity costs of the third quarter – August, September and we can say with confidence that the electricity losses decreased by 17 percent. That is, we are already saving 550 thousand tenge this quarter" - with such positive news, the Delegation was met by the chief physician of the Auliekol central district hospital, Shulgin Sergey Vladimirovich.
