This month has been full of variety, good energy, and
meaningful moments, both in the volunteering activities and outside of them.
At Mamak GENÇLİK MERKEZİ, we organized several creative and
interactive activities with the kids:
Painting
tote bags
Cooking
cookies and pasta together
Making
bracelets
Going on a
picnic
Visiting
the Biosphere Museum
Hosting
weekly Speaking Clubs every Saturday, where we practiced English through fun
and open conversations.
At Altındağ GENÇLİK MERKEZİ, the schedule was just as full,
but with a focus on sports, creativity and learning. Together with the
children, we took part in:
Tennis,
volleyball, basketball and gymnastics
Music and
arts sessions
Mind games,
robotics and English classes
Besides everything happening in the centers, July also
brought some personal highlights. I got the chance to visit Amasra, a beautiful
town by the sea, which offered the perfect setting for a short break, fresh air
and summer vibes. I also attended the graduation ceremony of my friends at TED
University, which was such a special moment. It was wonderful to see my friends
and colleagues from TED again, to catch up, share memories and just have a
great time together.
Another special moment this month was celebrating my
birthday here. The volunteers and the children surprised me with homemade
cookies and even brought a cake. It was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture
that made me feel truly appreciated.
Looking back, July was a month that kept me busy, connected, and constantly learning, both through the work with the kids and through the small personal experiences along the way. I’m looking forward to what’s coming next! 🤍🍒
