Mahabat chose the word « ынтымак » (« harmony » in Kyrgyz).
She lives in Zavadskoy Paselok, a slum of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The neighbourhood is inhabited by different ethnic groups from Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia but people live in peace and harmony.
It’s a feeling I got straight away when I arrived here a few days ago.
