  Description

  My name is Yeldos and I live in a Kazakh village 50 km east of Almaty. It's located near a small rural town Esik. I live with my wife, Gulnara and our youngest daughter, Raya, who is 15.
  
  Our passion is living in the village and helping our local community develop. For many year we raise chickens and sold eggs. We helped many people we know to launch the egg business to sustain themselves.
  
  Now we have 1 hectare of land on which we built our small house. This summer we put a yurt on our land and hosted different groups of locals who wanted get out of Almaty to experience fresh air and good fellowship.
  
  We constantly need help with different construction tasks.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We hope that while staying with our family, the Workawayer will learn about the life of a simple Kazakh family in the countryside. Living in a yurt, they will be able to experience the culture of nomadic peoples. During the joint work and the common meal, we will tell the Workawayer about our country, about the history and culture of the Kazakhs and other peoples. For example, more than twenty nationalities live together in our village.
  We are a Kazakh family. We speak Russian and Kazakh and some English. We eat and cook Kazakh food and we can teach you to cook it too. You can practice your Russian or Kazakh with us. You can live in the Yurt like a kazakh and meet our friends and neighbors.
