In 2005 an American volunteer Angela Davis and Gulzhanat Muratbai discovered a group of 2,000 disabled children with mental or physical problems, who were kept mostly indoors - away from contact with the world. It was sad to think of their lonely lives, so Davis and Muratbai decided to organise activities for them. The first activity was a New Year's party in 2006. Most of the children had never been to a party before. Their faces began to light up as they played games together, ate cake and received little resents.
Muratbai kept doing this kind of work She had help from friends, volunteers and the Civil Alliance of Kazakhstan. The Civil Alliance (a group for NGOs and volunteers) helped her to set up an NGO and then Muratbai asked the regional government for a room in Aktau for educational and social activities for disabled children She also asked an oil company for $7,000 to buy equipment such as educational games. Since then, Urpak Next Generation has grown much bigger. With the help of local businesses, many more activities are organised - sports competitions, a performing arts festival, parties, trips and visits. Her kindness, strength and energy have improved the lives of many children and parents. And her organisation is a model for other NGOs.

In the first paragraph, "with a big heart" means that Gulzhanat Muratbai is known for being very kind and compassionate.
The difference between an NGO and a business is that an NGO is a non-profit organization that is focused on providing social services or promoting a particular cause, whereas a business is an organization that is primarily focused on making a profit.
Volunteers are people who work for an NGO without being paid, typically in their free time. They do this because they want to help others or improve society in some way.
Davis and Muratbai invited a group of 2,000 disabled children with mental or physical problems to the first party. They did this because these children were isolated and lonely, and they wanted to provide them with some enjoyment and social interaction.
The Civil Alliance of Kazakhstan helped Muratbai by providing support and assistance in setting up her NGO, Urpak Next Generation.
Local businesses have helped Muratbai's NGO to grow by providing funding and support for its activities. These businesses have helped to organize sports competitions, a performing arts festival, parties, trips, and visits for the children.
