We met with Nurdoolot who is the Minister Director over Social Welfare including wheelchairs. The Social Minister, Taalaikul Isakunova who is like a Secretary in the US President's cabinet runs the Labor and Social Development Department. Nurdoolot is her person in charge over social affairs.   We discussed how Kyrgyzstan can help us review our progress on the chairs already given to the recipients so that we can hopefully provide more for their country. Nurdoolot said he has a waiting list of 400 so far. We are hopeful as well that we can do this for them.

We had our first of our first project today. It was the Bishkek Rehabilitation and Prosthesis Center. Salika the Director over this part of the Rehab center requested air conditioners for some of their rooms. All the rooms that needed AC face west and receive the daily sun. One of the rooms that they do daily lamp radiation therapy on patients gets very hot. We were able to provide 6 AC wall mounted units to this center.


 Some of the staff from the rehab center at our closing.                        The sewing room with new AC

                                               The Physio-Therapy room with new AC.

LDS Charities has provided several projects for this Rehab Center such as kitchen equipment and Physio equipment for the physical therapy area.

We started our journey on February 20 flying from Salt Lake to Paris(2 hr layover) then on to Turkey. Bill had to check his carry on(all the clothes to wear in Turkey and medications) with Air France going to Turkey because they said it was to big. We landed in Turkey on February 21 with 4 other volunteers 3 serving in Turkey and one in Kazakhstan. As we arrived at the luggage carousel we got all the bags except my carryon they had checked. Went to lost and found and after 45 min they told me it would be here the next day on the 6pm flight and that they would call when it arrived. They never called so Bill called them several times with no results. Then they said that the 6pm flight was cancelled that day and said it would be on the next day flight(Feb 23) at 6pm. We were flying out that next day at 950pm to go to Kyrgyzstan. The President ordered a van to take us to the airport after it arrived it had mechanical problems so we had to order another one. The airport is about 45 min away...

May 30th  -We were flying to Osh in Southern Kyrgyzstan. We got on the flight at 12:00 noon. It is a 1/2 hr flight, the turbulence was very bad on the way there. When we got to Osh, the plane kept going up and down, side ways and circling the city about 8 to 10 times. The the wind was blowing so hard that the pilot couldn't land. People were getting sick and asking for vomit bags. The stewardesses were keeping busy with people and messes, and trying to stay upright in the isles. People were scared we were going to crash! The pilot never announced anything to us, we just kept circling the city. We could see as we went down and then up again and as we circled around and around. We couldn't land, so the pilot headed back for Bishkek. On the way back about 10 minutes later the pilot came on and told us what happened. When we got back in the airport, the people in charge didn't know if there would be another flight until 5:00pm back to Osh that day.  Jyldyz, our interpreter, ha...
