On December 16th, Anna Alexandrova, Chair of the Executive Council of Soros Foundation-Kazakhstan, passed away in New York City aged 35

For the last several months she has struggled with cancer with much courage, working until the very end.

We admire the strength of her spirit and dedication to the ideals of open society. Anna had an acute sense of justice, empathy and belief in our ability to change the world for the better. Her passion and incredible diligence always filled us with energy and enthusiasm.

In our memories Anna will always remain young, energetic, generous and full of new ideas.
