Between February and March 2011, children attending Kyrgyz, Russian, and Uzbek schools in Osh City participated in the art contest “The World through Children Eyes” organized by the Aga Khan Foundation through its partner the Aga Khan School. This activity, implemented under the project Supporting Communities in Infrastructure Repair and Building Tolerance: Osh sponsored by USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI), allowed children from different ethnic groups and religions to depict their vision of peace, tolerance, and inter-ethnic friendship through paintings and drawings.
More than 300 students of grades 1-5 representing 29 schools submitted their pieces of arts that were exposed in Aravan Square (Osh City) on 26-27 March 2011.
