Kadime moved from Aleppo to Türkiye with her family ten years ago. She shares that her earliest childhood memories are always intertwined with Türkiye. Kadime, who is now 14 years old, feels happiness and safety living in Türkiye, expressing her love by saying, "Türkiye is such a beautiful place."
Kadime began her school life in Türkiye and is currently an 8th-grade student. Thanks to the strong bonds of affection she has formed with her classmates, she can't help smiling when talking about school. She dreams of becoming a preschool teacher when she grows up and works with great determination. Kadime summarizes her dreams with these meaningful words: "All the children are around me, and we are hugging each other."
Kadime expresses her joy and excitement for life through vibrant drawings, finding inspiration in complex and extraordinary works. "Everyone thinks Picasso's paintings are meaningless, but no, they all have meaning," she says, adding that her own artwork is influenced by the renowned artist's creations.
Kadime's talents are not limited to painting. She participates in choir, rhythm, and instrument lessons at the Association for Social Development and Aid Mobilization (ASAM) Al Farah Child and Family Support Center. These lessons help her expand her social circle, and she shares the rhythm and music theory knowledge she learns with her peers.
Kadime, now able to play guitar, says she gets excited while trying to harmonize with rhythms. Expressing her deep passion for music, she states, "I cannot imagine a life without melody in it." She is very happy to spend her time engaging in these activities.
