Expedition “Olketanu-2007” has finished. We have arrived in our native Pavlodar. It is unbelievable that having stayed in Bayanaul some several days, all become big friendly family. Honest to God, most of them did not want to get back, and even to part. Everybody was filled up with positive emotions, tender feelings and inspirations. Due to this expeditions we, students of PSU got acquainted with our great countryman such as S. Toraigyrov, K.I. Satpaev, M.Z.Kopeev and others. They have visited the museums, mausoleums, saint places, which play a great role in culture and history of Kazakh people.

“Did you like the trip? Have this trip justified your expectations?” – You will ask. I think that it is not necessary to answer these questions. Answers you will see in our eyes. And it is enough. There are no word describe these feelings, when you stand on the peak of mountain and admire simply unimaginable beauty of Bayanaul landscape and majestic mountains, when at night, in silence, near coast lake you observe how sun descends, or when you, together with friends, meet on beach a dawning, which simply strikes with its palette of paints. In fact, nature of Pavlodar region is powerful and graceful. It deserves a delight and our respect. No wonder that Bayanaul area is a native land of the most our great compatriots. Here everything promotes development of talents and creative abilities of person. There were such cases, when people, having arrived in Bayanaul and did not know how to draw, took pencils and made sketches, or those one, who did not like to make photos, they tried to photograph more beautiful moments as possible. Inspiration… It is everywhere. Only open you heart and it will tenderly touch.

As for me, I have just to get free from town fuss and plunge into the sea of new impressions. I indescribable pleased that I have felt a part of miraculous world, touched and passed through its energy, which covers all around. Particularly I have struck that in this expedition took part people, nearly not familiar with each other, but during short duration have become real friends and big friendly family. Love… Yes, it was also with us. I am sure that most of us felt it. It is interesting that before this trip, during study, people just passed by each other, then it will never occur. But the most important is to save this connection and not to lose it.

There was much interesting to learn more about people’s life, which glorified its native land. We bowed before the grave of Estay, have visited a museum of S.Toraigyrov and have seen the places, where was born and grew this prominent Kazakh poet, also we have visited a museum of the first Kazakh academician, worldwide known scientist K.I. Satpaev, as well as we have visited a mausoleum of Kazakh clairvoyant, philosopher and enlightener M. Z. Kopeev. We have heard much and know a lot. In short, excursions will go on profit of each.

Certainly, there were outrages. As usually not every journey passes smoothly. Our bus has stuck in midway to destination, we all tried to pull it out, but rain began. Also, there were other different events. Well, it is nothing, life trivial. They just fill up our box of memories.

In general, I consider that expedition “Olketanu – 2007” was an immediate success! I congratulate everybody, who had a lucky possibility to take part in it. I think that nobody feel sorry and hope that all were charged with positive energy, have got new impressions and ready to go onward with new comrades. In the future we all will watch photos, brought from expedition, and remember together spent time.

In conclusion I want to express thanks to the organizers of expedition, teachers, camp chancellors and all, all, all. Special thanks to Doctor of Economics, academician, professor E. M. Aryn.

We are very grateful for you!
