Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (April 22-27 2013) – Thousands of young people across Kyrgyzstan took part in the the Youth Week of Kindness in light of the Global Youth Service Day. They carried various out social activities under the slogan “Youth is Changing the World!” to help those in need of attention and support.

This year the “Youth Week of Kindness” is focused on development of voluntary actions by young people. Despite the fact that the number of volunteers in the country is growing, voluntary actions are still perceived as usage of free labour force. We want that young people understand the importance and applicability of such activity.  Since youth is more susceptible to negative influence from peers, this campaign will motivate the youth to bring benefit to society. We want to involve the youth in dynamic activities and deliver the message that the youth can and must improve the quality of life.
