Kanchaiym apa, a native of the village of Jon-Aryk in Talas district, has lived a long life that began in her home village. She spoke about how she and her husband, Bazarbaev Kazakbaev, built and raised a large family.
On upbringing and family well-being
Kanchaiym apa's family numbers 14 children — six sons and eight daughters. She notes that all of her children were able to start families of their own and now live their own lives. For her, it is a great happiness to witness the successes of her descendants.
Kanchaiym apa stressed that for a mother there is no greater happiness than seeing the well-being of all her children and descendants. She also mentioned that two of her daughters received the title "Baatyr ene" ("Hero Mother"), which brought her additional joy.
The greatest wealth
The experience of raising a large number of children and grandchildren, according to Kanchaiym apa, requires great effort, but watching all her descendants become independent people brings her enormous satisfaction.
