Enlighten knowledge and open up the next generation

In a life of cultivation, migrants funded each other and they did not spare any effort in building a school. The future of the settlement was created by education of the children who will lead the next generation. In addition, enthusiastic young people dedicated their youth to festivals and social service while learning from night schools and lectures. Youth activities such as athletic competitions, talent show and ski competitions have left a great mark on social education and formation of local culture.
