Consul General of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Houston, Gabidulla Ospankulov, and Consular Adviser Almat Abzhanov visited the office of the Texas Qazaq Foundation, a nonprofit organization, to learn more about its activities.
During the meeting with the Foundation’s Executive Director, Alash Mendibayev, its leadership, and active members, the participants exchanged views and discussed future plans.
The Texas Qazaq Foundation, which brings together fellow Kazakhstani citizens in the United States and implements cultural and educational initiatives, makes a significant contribution to the development of the Kazakh community in Houston.
The Foundation’s primary mission is to preserve and promote the culture, national heritage, language, and traditions of the Kazakh people, while advancing educational, cultural, and sports programs, fostering youth leadership potential, and creating opportunities for active participation in the public life of Texas.
The Foundation also implements initiatives aimed at strengthening mutual understanding and friendly relations between the Kazakh and American communities, promoting cultural exchange, and creating new opportunities for cooperation between the two countries.
One of the key initiatives in this regard is the Houston Qazaq School, established under the Foundation. At the school, children study the Kazakh language and literature, as well as receive instruction in playing the dombra and performing traditional Kazakh dances.
Such initiatives help foster respect among younger generations for their native language, national culture, and historical heritage, while contributing to the preservation of Kazakh identity abroad and its transmission to future generations.
