VOLUNTEERING IN ANKARA IN JANUARY

Volunteering in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, is very enjoyable, informative and productive. We prepared food packages to be sent to those in need at the LÖSEV hospital here. It was nice to do this 

We have an English speaking club on Saturdays. In this speaking club, we have fun with all our international friends and provide

I recorded a potcast for the first time at the Ministry of Youth and Sports. It was an exciting and beautiful experience. We shot videos at the youth center and learned about each other's cultures and perspectives with these videos. 

"What is volunteering for us?"

This month, we focused on this subject.

Volunteering means for me the butterfly effect

We started to knit scarves for disadvantaged children in our volunteer activities. Yes, I am new to knitting. Although it was a little difficult, it was very enjoyable.

 While I was getting to know Ankara, I went to the Ankara Castle and it was very beautiful. It was very nice to watch Ankara at sunset. We also went to museums in Ankara. The arts in the İş Bank museum were very beautiful.

 

    

 

 We visited the CSO (Presidential Symphony Orchestra). There was a small but meaningful exhibition there about recycling.  The recycled clothes, pictures, and bird nests were beautiful. The other place we visited when we went to CSO was an exhibition museum that told about music and orchestra in Turkey from past to present. There were also the first compositions of the İstiklal Anthem and other works.

      

Volunteering here is very productive and beautiful.
