Before EXPO 2017 left a little time, so the training of volunteers for such a landmark event now more intensified. Volunteers of EXPO-2017 will welcome a lot of guests. So that the motivation of volunteers is not extinguished, "Youth Congress of Kazakhstan" held a contest, which aim is to identify who in this environment was the best in the outgoing 2016.

At the end of the contest second place deservedly received a future journalist Valeriya Dzhembetova, who is a student Faculty of Humanities and Education  of S.Toraighyrov PSU..

Not hiding her joy, Valeriya shared her impressions: "When I was asked to become a volunteer, I honestly say, was in some confusion, but coming into contact with children, people with disabilities and those who need help, I was shocked by their openness and cheerfulness. It turned out that the work with children in orphanages, homes for the elderly inhabitants truly ennobles the human soul. When you listen to the life stories of these people, their fates collisions, unwittingly begin to realize that people need each other and it seemed to us everyday things can make someone happy, even if only for one day."

In addition, the Pavlodar region was awarded in the nomination "The best volunteer organization." Gold and bronze won PSE "Bolashak" and the Youth Council of LLP "Ekibastuz GRES-1."

These are people with a sincere, open mind. And each of you is worthy of the highest praise and support", - said the head of department.
