Turkish-Kids-4-Syrian-Kids — Profiling Yasemin Zeynep Balı
Children are paying the heaviest price in the Syrian conflict…
Realizing this tragedy, Yasemin Zeynep Balı, a 6th grader at Martin GT Magnet Middle School in Raleigh, NC decided to help in her own way…
Recently Zeynep sent the below letter to us at Bridge to Türkiye along with a check to support BTF’s Syrian Children project. Zeynep’s contributions raised with her Christmas craft project will provide 15 School Bags filled with education supplies to the Syrian Refugee Children in Turkish Schools. Zeynep has also previously supported our project for the Children of Soma…
Zeynep, you are a true inspiration to all of us at BTF. Thank you for your kindness and support. İyiki Varsın!
Dear BTF, When I heard about the Syrian kids I was very devastated like what happened to the Soma kids last year. I heard this news from my parents. If it wasn’t for them I would have not known about the Syrian kids. To help them I sold Christmas ornaments at the Buy-Local event at the Turkish House. I chose to do Christmas ornaments because it was the month of Christmas and I thought it would bring Christmas spirit to the people around me. I also was thinking about forming a club with my Turkish friends who want to help. I really want to do this for all the kids or for any living being who needs help in life. I want to make people around the world believe that fighting is not the strategy to live in this type of world because time passes by when people are having fun in their lives. I want to do this for those Syrian kids who do not have a home or do not know how to read and write. This is my story about how I started to help the Syrian kids by selling Christmas ornaments.
Yours Truly, Yasemin Z. Balı :)
