I was delighted this week to take part in a couple of online seminars for school students from Pavlodar Secondary School No 26 in northern Kazakhstan. Several of the students have started a project to trace the journeys of Thomas and Lucy Atkinson through their country in the 1840s. I would like to thank their teacher, Kalamkas Zhangazina for organising the seminars so efficiently. And to Arman and Dilnaz, I would like to say Senderge jumysta sattilik tileimin. Iske sat!
