140 students of the Special Correctional Boarding School of Astana celebrated New Year in Keruen shopping and entertainment center. The fun of 3.5 hours long began in Happylon entertainment center, where the children were met by heroes of their favorite movies and, of course, Ded Moroz and Snegurochka , who pleased them with presents. And the gifts were individual for everybody - each child has written in advance about his wish within the ‘Letter to Ded Moroz’ project of AYALA Charity Foundation. Summarizing the wishes of the children, it can be noted that younger generation loves to develop, studies the world with great interest, and is interested in sports, art, music and many other things. After the entertainment program the children enjoyed the animated comedy ‘Ferdinand’ in Kinopark 7 IMAX.

Parents and children thanked the main sponsor in Astana - the private foundation ‘Fund for development and support of ballet and national dance’, which purchased 75 gifts for a total of 655,312 KZT. The money for the purchase of the remaining 65 gifts was collected due to the support of sponsors: Keruen SEC, Starbucks  ‘Khan Shatyr’, Marriott Astana, World Class fitness club, Cod de Vie boutique in Keruen City shopping mall where the letters of the children were decorating Christmas trees. The budget of the festive day was 1 520 373 KZT.
