On July 14, 2011 the U.S. Government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), presented a new series of multi-language books for children developed in partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation, the Ministry of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the Osh and Jalalabad city administrations.
Through a series of dialogues and workshops with parents and teachers, the Aga Khan Foundation produced dual-language books (Kyrgyz-Uzbek, Kyrgyz-Russian, Kyrgyz-Tajik, and Kyrgyz-English) aimed at promoting peace, tolerance and respect for diversity. The Aga Khan School organized an art competition among students from 29 schools in Osh City on themes related to peace, harmony and friendship. The winning entries will be published as a book. The dual-language books and the art competition books will be distributed to schools and libraries throughout the country.
