On January 7th, 2009 the noncommercial organization, Center of Initiatives "Suyuu-Bulagy" working in the field of social development and poverty reduction, organized and held the ninth annual event "Christmas miracle".  During December 2008, the employees of CISB conducted a campaign to raise money for various organizations and individuals. Despite the economic crisis, enough funds were collected, not only to put on a Christmas Party for 240 children, but also to purchase gifts for another 150 children from poor and large families. In addition, toys and clothing were donated for 70 children from orphanages and disadvantaged families. Children who came to the festival took part in theatrical performances, danced around the Christmas tree, sang songs, read poetry, and watched a puppet show. At the end of the festival all the children received gifts and sweets.

Due to informational support and the AmCham network, more than 300 orphans and children from poor families received New Year gifts from such organizations and individuals as: “Behre Dolbear”,  "El Group Consulting" (AmCham members), "Rubin"store, "Semtek", Ala TV, Kulikovskiy Tort, PF "Friends of Kyrgyzstan", PH "Printhouse", PH "Salam", "Agape", "Obnovlenie", "Vagant Profit",  "Lina", "Navigator" store, "Fat Boys", Alexander Zlatkin, Ulan Usenov, Veronika Lee, Larisa Kim, "Blossom" and others.

The American Chamber of Commerce and the Center of Initiatives “Suyuu Bulagy" express special thanks to AmCham members “Behre Dolbear” and “El Group Consulting” for their sponsorship of this event.

You gave the children a magical Christmas tale!
