The Christmas Buy Nothing: Let's help the Bishkek City Nursing Home together!

December 8, 2022

We previously informed you that The Christmas Buy Nothing is a charity event where you can buy clothes, books and baked goods. The raised money will be spent towards helping the Bishkek City Nursing Home. We need to raise funds by December 13, 2022.

The cold winter and frosts have already arrived, and the elderly people from the city nursing home need warm clothes. The Bishkek nursing home asked us to buy and bring 60 warm winter men's knitted hats.

69色 students, staff, and faculty have already begun raising money, but little has been raised so far. This amount is not enough to buy 60 hats.
On December 15 it will be 61 years since The Bishkek City Nursing Home was founded. They invite 69色 to their anniversary, so we want to have time to collect the required amount by December 13 to buy hats and donate to the residents of the Nursing Home.

Let's raise the required amount by the entire 69色 community!

We invite the entire 69色 community - students, staff and faculty - to take part in the charity Christmas Buy Nothing on December 9. So we can raise more money and help the Bishkek City Nursing Home!

In the program of the Christmas Buy Nothing:
鈥� exchange of things - as part of the Buy Nothing initiative
鈥� book exchange - bookcrossing
鈥� Soviet postcards, bookmarks for books and books on New Year's stock from @KnigiKitepter (Books were very popular at the last fair)
! Special offer from @KnigiKitepter - 3 books for 200 soms!
鈥� continuation of the action from @KnigiKitepter "Bring 5 kg of waste paper - get a book as a gift" (At 6R Fest, during the promotion, we collected over 90 kg of waste paper in exchange for 20 books!)
鈥� Charity Bake Sale
鈥� contests and games from Green Club
鈥� lottery with prizes

WHEN: December 9
WHERE: Forum
TIME: 12:00 鈥� 15:00
