  Descrição

  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 years we have been raising chickens and selling fresh 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.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We hope that while staying with our family, the Workawayers 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 Workawayers 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 Kazakh and Russian and some English. We eat and cook Kazakh food and we can teach you to cook it too. You can practice your Kazakh or Russian with us. You can live in the Yurt like a kazakh and meet our friends and neighbors. We also really like to learn about other countries and peoples and taste their dishes.

  Acomodação

  We have a yurt that stands in our yard in a secluded and safe place. There is mattress in the yurt, and if necessary, we can add another one. The yurt also has a table for eating or working, a gas stove, a cupboard for dishes, a refrigerator, lighting, and Wi-Fi. The door can be locked if needed.
  
  The yurt is closed until spring, but we now have an insulated trailer, which is warmer and more comfortable for winter stays. There are still some urgent projects to work on, such as replacing the outside door, adjusting the window, installing furniture, and other practical tasks around the place.
  Men’s bathroom and outdoor shower are available. For women, there is a toilet and shower in the host’s house. Clean bedding is provided and can be changed when necessary.
  
  We are ready to provide three meals a day. We usually cook and eat together. It’s the perfect time to talk. In exceptional cases, if you need to eat privately we can provide affordable ingredients if you prefer to cook for yourselves.
  
  Since many people travel with minimal luggage, if you wish, we can provide clean change of clothes and shoes for work. Be free to ask us, we will be glad to serve.
