Program:
Entrepreneurs from The Kyrgyz Republic came to speak to the group. It was fascinating to learn about their country which is in Central Asia. It is often called "The Second Switzerland" because of the beautiful mountains.You can see more about Kyrgyzstan by clicking here.
Also, one of the visitors spoke about the Manas- the longest poem at over 500,000 lines, it is often sung or recited orally. You can read more about this very treasured story of the Kyrgyz people here.One of the speakers, Tilek Toktoga, would like to connect on Facebook. His profile can be accessed here.
