28-03-2024

On the eve of the New Year, KTZ-Freight Transportation LLP held a charity event “Christmas Tree of Wishes”. The railway workers became kind wizards and brought joy to children with special needs and from large families of railway workers. A “Christmas tree” with the wishes of the children was installed in the central office. The children's letters were removed by the heads of structural units.

General Director Vladimir Petrov and Executive Director - Director of the Department of Human Resources Management and Social Policy Adilzhan Ismukhambetov visited the large family of the shift foreman of the PTOL Astana Operational Locomotive Depot Dauren Nurkhanov.

A friendly family with seven children is preparing for a housewarming party. The keys to the new apartment will be handed over in January next year. They were given a TV, congratulated on the upcoming New Year and wished them good health, prosperity and happiness.

At the Degelen station, Happy New Year was congratulated to the large family of the wagon depot worker Suniyat Tarakhanov. They were given a laptop.
We also visited the family of the diesel locomotive driver of the Zhambyl operational locomotive depot Askar Baitasov, in which 7 children are being raised. The eldest child is 13 years old, and the youngest is a few months old. The family lives in the village of Tuimekent.

Other children were not left behind either. Eleven-year-old Ruslana loves to sing and dreams of becoming a famous singer, she wrote about this in a postcard for the “Wish Tree” and asked to give her a Bluetooth microphone. Her nine-year-old brother Prokhor asked Santa Claus to fulfill his cherished wish: for his loved ones to always be healthy and asked to give him a music speaker. The children are raised by one father.

Seven-year-old Aisana wrote in a postcard that she believes in miracles and knows for sure that on New Year’s Eve all wishes come true. The girl has a serious brain disease - hydrocephalus. She asked Santa Claus for a tablet or smartphone to watch her favorite cartoons.

Two sisters Alina and Danel are raised by their aunt. The girls are talented and enjoy drawing and knitting. They asked for art and craft kits as gifts.
The charity event “Wish Tree” has already become a good New Year’s tradition.
