Due to heavy snowfall in Astana, snow removal work is being carried out in shifts around the clock. In particular, young people are actively helping veterans and needy citizens from socially vulnerable categories of the population, participating in clearing their yards, the official website of the city administration reports.

The event was organized by the "Astana Youth" youth resource center.

About 10 volunteers from the capital helped veterans living alone clean their homes and yards, and clear their yards of snow.

“Today, we, the volunteers of "Astana Youth", gathered for another "Marathon of Good Deeds" to clear the yard of a lonely pensioner. It is worth noting that we have been helping to clear the yard of an elderly citizen from the capital for two years. "It is important for our seniors to clear their yards so that they can walk freely and enjoy the fresh air," says active volunteer David Sharipov.

Clearing their yards from snow is not an easy task for seniors, so they are always grateful for such help.

"This year, we are timed the campaign to clear the yards of seniors in the capital to the 80th anniversary of Victory. That is why this year we paid more attention to veterans and seniors, not only helping them clear their yards, but also bringing them small gifts, chatting, and receiving their feedback. "We would like to note that this campaign will continue," says Dana Takenova, a specialist in the volunteer movement development department of "Astana Zhastary."
