Little Abai is Born in Oskemen: A Name Not Chosen by Chance

In Oskemen, a joyous event occurred in the family of Beibit Oralkanuly, an employee of Institution No. 17 of the Penitentiary Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. He and his wife became parents for the third time and named their newborn son Abai.

Justice Major Beibit Oralkanuly serves as the Assistant Duty Officer to the Head of Institution No. 17 of the Penitentiary Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Beibit, a career officer, graduated from the Sh. Kabylbayev Academy in Kostanay and has served in the penitentiary system for over 10 years.

"We thought about the name for a long time. We wanted it to be strong and meaningful. The name Abai is not just a tribute to the great thinker; it is also a symbol of wisdom and justice, which are so important in our lives. We believe our son will grow up to be a worthy person and a true patriot of his country," the young father shared.

The choice of name was particularly symbolic because the baby was born in the year when all of Kazakhstan is celebrating the 180th anniversary of the great poet and thinker Abai Kunanbayuly.

"Our parents supported us in this choice. They said that this name would bring blessings and wisdom to our home. We are very grateful to them for that," Beibit added.

Despite his serious profession, Beibit always tries to find time for his family. He notes that the birth of a third child is a great happiness and a great responsibility.

"Family is our rear, our main support. And now that there are more of us, we feel even stronger. We want to raise our children with love, give them a good education, and instill in them the most important values," he says.

This story is another reminder that even in the most demanding professions, there is a place for family warmth and simple human joys.
