Dear Donors,
Thank you for your donations thus far for our Tablet Project. We have collected an amount of $105 donation and for a total of $8000 thus far. Though we still have a long way to go to our goal, we have picked up the momentum with more and more donations coming in. We hope that this pace continues. With the donation we have collected so far, we are going to offer 1 tablet PC to 1 children from village schools in most disadvantaged areas in Turkey. This children can access TEGV’s digital platform and follow the Ministry of National Education’s courses. In order to provide equal opportunities in education, we provide tablet PCs to our children studying at schools in disadvantaged regions. With their tablet PCs, our children can attend TEGV’s Informatics, Science, Mathematics, English, Reading, Social and Emotional Learning, and school support programs via distance education.
Impressions of Utku Kaya, Education Specialist responsible for Sanlurfa Sevgi-Erdogan Gönül Education Park project implementation: This region is a little different with its nature, culture, people’s attitude towards guests, and food and drink. I wish you were with us to see those children who never imagined they would have a tablet PC one day, a mother who came to receive a tablet with her two children on her back, and the smile in the eyes of a teacher who was happy knowing that she would now access her students with more ease... Children with henna on their hair, dressed in their Sunday best, smiling under face masks that seemed one size too large... We asked children’s permission to take a group photo and then asked them to smile at the camera: You must have seen those smiles covered by their face masks but visible in their brilliant eyes...
We would like to share with you the happiness of our children who received their tablets with the New World Project. You can review the photos. With your valuable support, we continue to provide quality education support to our children.
Each of your donations is a greatly appreciated drop as we continue to work hard toward filling our Project. We thank all of you for your support, and hope that in the next report we will be sharing that we have gotten enough donations to provide tablet for 100 children with $8000.
