Delegation is Off

Posted by Sara Coggins, Kids Connection Manager

We saw the Youth Impact delegation off at the train tonight as they came through from Shymkent.  They all seemed to have had a good visit in Shymkent, although the guys actually complained because they were given too much to eat.  Yet another example for them of the wonderful hospitality here in Kazkahstan. 

Nate started feeling slightly nauseous yesterday and so the first part of the hot train ride today was somewhat difficult for him.  He was able to get out in Taraz and get some fresh air which seemed to help.  Hopefully, they will have the air conditioning on for the rest of the trip. 

The delegation will arrive in Almaty tomorrow morning at around 8:30 am.  They will go to Shymbolak (a ski resort in the mountains South of Almaty) and do some other touristy things.  We will try to keep you posted on how they are doing in Almaty.
