AKIPRESS.COM - Jalal-Abad 6th-grader Erlan Tashbayev's new year wish came true: he was presented a Central Asian Shepherd puppy from the president.
He told AKIpress affiliated Turmush regional news service how happy he was to get a new friend.
"This year, a friend of mine gave me a puppy to take care of, but suddenly, the puppy died. I cried the whole day and was in despair. Then after watching a movie about one boy's dream coming true, I decided to write to the president," he shared.
"I wrote about me and my wish. My dream to get invited into the president's new year ball for school-goers came true, as well," he said.
Jalal-Abad governor Kiyanbek Satybaldiyev handed over presents from the head of state to Erlan, who was also gifted a smartphone and computer.
