UNICEF opens its yurt in Ethno-aul at the World Nomad Games in Astana
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Kazakhstan will set up an inclusive yurt in the Nomad Universe Ethno-Aul at the 5th World Nomad Games (WNG), which will take place in Astana from September 8 to 13, 2024. The yurt will open on September 7 as part of the WNG cultural program and will offer a variety of activities and educational programs for children and their parents, aimed at promoting inclusion and protecting children’s rights. The yurt will be located in the Altybakan children’s zone within the Ethno-Aul.
Program of activities for children
The UNICEF yurt will host daily activities for children, including handicraft workshops, board games (Bestemshe, Mancala), chess and checkers tournaments (also accessible to children with visual disabilities), and traditional games such as Assyk Atu and Togyz-Kumalak. Workshops in archery (Zhamba Atu) and Arkyn Tartu will also be available. All activities are designed to develop skills needed for social integration and cultural enrichment.
For preschoolers and schoolchildren, the yurt will offer interactive workshops where they can learn how to make traditional handicrafts (kiiz uy) and try games that combine physical activity with mental development, such as boccia. Fans of virtual reality can test their knowledge of Kazakhstan’s history in a special quest by GameLab KBTU using VR headsets. Additionally, board games, drawing, puzzles, and Jenga focused on children’s rights will be available daily.
Dr. Rashed Mustafa Sarwar, UNICEF Representative in Kazakhstan, said, “We are excited to partner with the World Nomad Games to create an inclusive and safe environment for all children. The UNICEF yurt will be a space where children can play, learn, and develop freely, and adults are reminded of the importance of children’s right to play as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We are grateful to all our partners for their support and invite everyone to our yurt.”
Special sessions are also planned for parents. UNICEF experts will conduct sessions on positive parenting and provide valuable information on how to protect children online.
All events will be held in collaboration with UNICEF partners, including the Dinara Saduakassova Chess Academy (UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in Kazakhstan), Fomalhaut Public Association of People with Disabilities, World of Equal Opportunities Public Foundation, Kazakhstan Boccia Federation, GameLab KBTU (Video Games Development and Research Laboratory at the IT and Engineering School of Kazakh-British Technical University), and the Union of Fathers Public Foundation.
Nail Nurov, the Head of the Directorate of the 5th World Nomad Games, added, “We are delighted to see UNICEF as our partner with such a rich and inclusive program for all children and their parents. This gives the 5th Games a special status and highlights our nation’s family values by ensuring accessibility and safety for children.”
We invite all visitors to the World Nomad Games to visit the UNICEF yurt and be part of a unique experience that brings together tradition and modernity, inclusion, and education.

Dr. Nicholas Franco MD Discusses the Complexities of Long COVID: Signs, Symptoms, and the Path to Recovery
Michigan, US, 27th November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, As the world continues to navigate the impacts of COVID-19, one area that remains particularly concerning is Long COVID, a condition affecting individuals long after their initial recovery. Dr. Nicholas Franco MD, a retired urologist with a career spanning Montreal, New Orleans, and Southwest Florida, offers his expertise on understanding Long COVID’s signs, symptoms, and long-term effects. Drawing on his extensive medical background, Dr. Franco emphasizes the importance of early recognition and comprehensive care for those struggling with lingering symptoms.
Long COVID: A Diverse and Persistent Health Challenge
According to Dr. Franco, Long COVID encompasses a wide range of symptoms that may persist for weeks, months, or even years following an initial COVID-19 infection. While most individuals experience improvement within three months, others find their recovery extends up to six months or beyond. For some, Long COVID can result in ongoing health complications that require a different approach to care. “The diversity of Long COVID symptoms and their varying durations make it a complex condition to manage,” explains Dr. Franco. “Some people may improve with time, while others may experience recurring or even worsening symptoms, potentially leading to significant disruptions in their daily lives.”
Dr. Nicholas Franco points out that Long COVID can impact multiple bodily systems, resulting in a broad spectrum of symptoms that may include fatigue, brain fog, respiratory challenges, and heart palpitations. These symptoms can range in severity and may also lead to disabilities, underscoring the need for individuals experiencing Long COVID symptoms to consult healthcare providers for guidance and care. “Long COVID does not manifest the same way in every individual,” Dr. Franco adds. “Symptoms can overlap with those of other illnesses, which complicates diagnosis and emphasizes the importance of personalized, comprehensive treatment.”
Common Symptoms and Their Impact on Quality of Life
Among the many symptoms reported, Dr. Franco highlights fatigue, brain fog, and post-exertional malaise (PEM) as particularly common in Long COVID patients. PEM refers to a worsening of symptoms following physical or mental exertion, which can hinder a person’s ability to engage in regular activities. “Fatigue and cognitive difficulties can be debilitating, affecting one’s work, social interactions, and overall well-being,” notes Dr. Franco. Additional symptoms of Long COVID include difficulty breathing, chest pain, and rapid heartbeats, as well as neurological issues such as headaches, sleep disturbances, and mood changes like depression and anxiety.
The symptoms of Long COVID are not limited to physical manifestations. Dr. Franco points out that the condition can also result in digestive issues, such as diarrhea and stomach pain, as well as unexplained changes in menstrual cycles and the development of skin rashes. “The wide array of symptoms associated with Long COVID presents unique challenges for both patients and healthcare providers,” says Dr. Franco. “It’s essential to approach this condition with a holistic perspective, as some symptoms may appear unrelated but are indeed part of the Long COVID spectrum.”
Recognizing and Managing Hard-to-Explain Symptoms
For many with Long COVID, symptoms can be difficult to diagnose or attribute directly to COVID-19. Dr. Franco notes that people with unexplained symptoms often face delays in diagnosis, sometimes even encountering stigma or misunderstanding from others, which can delay appropriate treatment. “Long COVID can leave individuals feeling isolated, especially when their symptoms lack a straightforward explanation or diagnostic test,” he shares. Without laboratory tests to confirm these lingering symptoms, Dr. Franco emphasizes that managing Long COVID requires a focus on symptom relief, improving quality of life, and reducing the impact of symptoms on daily activities.
The Role of Comprehensive Care in Managing Long COVID
Dr. Franco advocates for a collaborative approach to managing Long COVID, with healthcare providers working closely with patients to address their specific symptoms and improve their overall well-being. He suggests that individuals experiencing persistent or hard-to-explain symptoms seek comprehensive care that includes medical, psychological, and lifestyle support. “Long COVID is a multifaceted condition, and addressing it often requires a multidisciplinary approach,” Dr. Franco advises. By incorporating a team of medical professionals, patients can receive well-rounded care that targets various aspects of their health.
Complications Associated with Long COVID
Dr. Franco also draws attention to the potential complications of Long COVID, particularly in those who experienced severe COVID-19. Some patients may suffer from multi-organ effects, including problems with the heart, lungs, kidneys, skin, and brain, as well as autoimmune conditions. These complications can increase the risk of developing chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and blood clots. According to Dr. Nicholas Franco, “Patients who were in intensive care may face additional challenges like post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), which includes symptoms such as muscle weakness, cognitive difficulties, and even PTSD.”
Dr. Franco emphasizes that PICS, while not unique to COVID-19, may contribute to the experiences of Long COVID for some patients, blurring the lines between COVID-related effects and complications arising from severe illness.
Similarities Between Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Some individuals with Long COVID report symptoms resembling Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), another condition often associated with post-infectious fatigue. Dr. Franco acknowledges that the challenges of Long COVID mirror those faced by individuals with ME/CFS, such as difficulties in symptom recognition, diagnosis, and management. “These similarities highlight the need for increased awareness and support for people living with post-infectious chronic conditions,” Dr. Franco concludes.
In his closing remarks, Dr. Franco encourages individuals experiencing persistent symptoms to consult their healthcare providers. “Long COVID is a real and challenging condition that requires patience, understanding, and appropriate medical care. No one should feel isolated or overlooked, seek support, and know that there are resources and treatments available to help manage this complex journey.”
