A piece of (pan)cake!

Our wonderful presenter, Lena, explaining Maslenitsa to the crowd at our special Vendors Day and Maslenitsa celebration at Intercontinental Hotel Almaty.

Recently we celebrated Maslenitsa, or Pancake Day with a special Coffee Morning and Vendors Market.

Thanks so much to the team for organising:

⭐️ Our bakers
⭐️ Our market vendors
⭐️ Our presenters
⭐️ Our donors

Donations were collected for Seven Trees in support of their Care Bag campaign in the lead up to International Women’s Day. The Care Bags were then packaged and a team of AIWC volunteers travelled to Seven Trees HQ to help out (well done, everyone!).

To find out more about Seven Trees, please see their website: https://seven-trees.org

Thanks also to our generous hosts, InterContinental Almaty.

Ski Club Thursdays

Yes ladies and gentlemen, never forget we ❤️ both a good pun as well as some outdoor sports at AIWC!

Thursday mornings during the ski season are ski mornings, thanks to all round legend and ski club leader Tarryn who organises a brilliant day at Oi-Qaragai Mountain Resort. A wonderful team of instructors provides lessons in both English and Russian and naturally we enjoy a hearty lunch afterwards at the superb Aport Restaurant.

My chicken shashlik was literally inhaled, it was so tasty.

10/10 recommend.

Christmas Gift Bag

Seven Trees is a fabulous organisation, supporting at risk women and children here in Almaty, and they are currently running a children’s Christmas Gift Bag campaign.
To take part as a donor, you are asked to choose an age group (2-4, 5-9, or 10-14), and then select an item from each category (sweets/cookies, toys, school supplies, hygiene items, clothing).
By taking part, you will be making a child VERY happy this festive season.
Last collection day will be 14 December. Contact Seven Trees to find out more!

Nicole, Our Mountaineer!

Last week we took a break from regular coffee scheduling to learn about one of our members’s mountaineering experiences.
Earlier this year, Nicole summited Lenin Peak, the tallest mountain in neighbouring Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. We learned what it takes to be a mountaineer: the preparation, the risks, and the specific considerations when you’re a woman climbing a mountain!
It was a fabulous presentation, and we are all in awe.
Thanks Nicole!
Thanks also to the InterContinental Almaty for hosting us

Leading By Example!

We thanked our activity leaders with a lunch at everyone’s favourite party brunch location, Little Brazil.
Our activity leaders volunteer their time to organise and run regular activities such as Russian Conversation classes, Craft club and Hiking.
They are truly incredible people and make our community so much better.
Thanks to all our Activity Leaders!
