Teachers4Good – Fark Yaratan Öğretmenler: Nimet Çetinkaya, Van

by on January 24, 2016 with 0 Comments in Fark Yaratan Öğretmenler - Teachers4Good , NEWS FROM THE FIELD , PROGRAM NEWS

Do you remember your teacher from primary school?  

As Turks4Good, we want to remember the young, selfless  rural school teachers in their first few years on the job, in the remote corners of Turkey.  Our 4Kids projects for their classrooms and children are only a small token of our appreciation.  We want to salute them, and honor them, and thank them… They are indeed a national treasure!  

Here is Nimet Çetinkaya from Konya who is serving at Van’s Seydibey Vilage School…  You can read more about Nimet at our below Medium article published in “Building Bridges” 

Ben Bir Köy Öğretmeniyim…

 

 

 TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND YOU CAN HELP!

We are a group of volunteers who are passionate philanthropists. Our work depends on micro-funding… You can support our projects by donating from our secure links on the right…

Today, on World Refugee Day, we are witnessing the worst refugee crisis since World War II. I recently traveled to Turkey and Greece to visit some of the projects that you have been so instrumental in supporting. In Turkey, I met with two local organizations supported by Bridge to Turkiye—YUVA and SKYGD—which both focused on refugees’ profound need for access to education. Currently, only one in three Syrian refugee children is attending a school of any kind. The rest face language barriers and pressure to work to support families that have few means of supporting themselves. Bridge to Turkiye’s partners are working to provide education for children and vocational and language classes for adults new to their country. When GlobalGiving created this relief fund in 2013, we couldn’t foresee that it would be even more necessary today, three years after its launch, than it was back then. There are currently more than 4.5 million Syrian refugees living in just five countries: Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt. While they hope to return to their homes in Syria, it doesn’t look like the political situation will change anytime soon, and the families you’ve supported are now faced with the reality that their current situation is likely to be the new normal for the foreseeable future.

BTF DFW celebrated the National Holiday of May 19th Youth and Sports Day with a 5K run for adults, fun run for kids and a picnic for everyone. Thanks to all the volunteers and participants, we not only had a lot of fun together but also commemorated this very special day in Turkeys history. May 19th marks the start of the Turkish Independence War after the invasion of our land by many foreign states following WW I, a very important milestone on the way to the Independent Turkish Republic. Thanks everyone for celebrating with us to keep the May 19th spirit alive and for passing it onto the next generation.

Our circle of compassion promotes respect and fellowship for humankind in the communities we serve. Turks4Good commitment to these ideals stems from our basic desire to give back to our native land for the many opportunities we have gained from her. We invite you to also contribute to the welfare of less fortunate children in Turkey.
