Aynura Omurova, a resident of the village of Jenish, has become a foster mother to eight sons.

She works as a social worker in the Ayil Okmotu of Jargylchak and engages in the traditional craft of "uuzchuluk" in her free time.

Aynura was born on August 3, 1980, in the village of Jenish, in the Jeti-Oguz district.

"My parents were shepherds, and my childhood was spent in the mountains. I am proud to have grown up in one of the most beautiful corners of Jeti-Oguz. After school, I moved to Bishkek to study," she recounts.

Aynura began her education at a two-year studio at the Philharmonic, where she got married and had children, but she continued to pursue her studies.

At the age of 35, she was awarded the title of "Batyr Ene," and seven years later, she gave birth to her eighth son. Aynura draws inspiration from her mother-in-law's example.

"My mother-in-law raised 11 children and was awarded the title of 'Mother-Heroine.' With her blessing, we are raising our sons," she says.

Aynura named her sons Askhat, Kairat, Bekzat, Islambek, Yntymak, Gulzhigit, Umar, and Mukhammed.

While working at the House of Culture, Aynura organized cultural events and brought women together.

She has been elected as a deputy twice and is now a grandmother to three grandchildren.

"I am grateful to God for my three daughters-in-law and granddaughters," she shares.

Currently, Aynura works as a social worker and helps those in need.

"This is important work, and I try to do it with love," she notes.

Aynura also creates traditional crafts and conducts master classes.

"I am happy when I see tourists appreciating our art and the nature of Kyrgyzstan," she concludes.
