Welcome to the forum and know that we really appreciate what Turkey is doing for Somalia.Insan wrote:Hello everybody,
I am a Turkish girl whose heart is beating with sufferers of difficult days in Somalia. Here in Istanbul, all bilboards, the ads in buses, metro etc are all packed with messages about the drought; the ads calls for ad.
Yesterday, until 3 am from 11pm, I watched an aid raising programme on ATV, a private channel (several other channels have also done this aid raising programmes). Many (maybe 100 or more) artists, musicians, businessmen, autors etc joined in. They both contributed cash and they were seated in a round table with telephones. General public called these telephones and spoke to all these famous people (in rotation) and offered their cash aid on the phone. Among them, there were children of 5 years old, even very poor people who themselves had received donation (fitre) etc. What everybody was saying is that 'after seeing the suffering there, we feel hurt in our hearts!'
The spirit here is that these aids will continue to rebuild the infrastructure, hospitals will be built by Turkish 'Earth Doctors' Organisation and some private hospital chains in Turkey, hundreds of young people will be brought to Turkey for 5 years on full-scholorship bases including accomadation, daily expenses etc. (When our Republic was founded after the occupation of country in First World War, we had also sent our young people abroad for education.)
And hopefully Domestic conflicts should cease for the best interests of the public. Human lives and wellfare are at stake.
Well, I am so glad to be in a forum that connects me with any Somalian brothers and sisters.
All the best, let Allah's blessing be with you.
