Hello,
This is Nuri Park from Peace Winds Korea.
Today, I’d like to share the story of an interpreter who worked for a clinic in Tanisma, Turkiye.
Peace Winds is helping rebuild the town of Tanisma.
There are currently 5,100 people living in the village of Tanisma.
There is one clinic in Tanisma. A doctor from Peace Winds worked there, so an interpreter was needed to translate what the doctor said.
Interpreter Peace Winds hired is also a victim of the earthquake in Turkiye. "It's good to be able to help people," he said, adding that he has been working for a local volunteer group since the first day of the earthquake. Since his mother was an English teacher, he has become familiar with English.
"I think I'm lucky," the interpreter said, “because I didn't lose my family” he added. But he lost several friends. Also, he said that he took everything for granted, including his nice car, nice house, and even his relatives, but everything disappeared in just on day."I don't need anything special, I just want to be happy." Having experienced the earthquake, he now pursues small happiness.
Peace Winds plans to continue helping the village by providing food and daily necessities to the socially vulnerable, including women and the disabled, although our support for the clinic is over.
We would appreciate any support you can offer in our efforts to rebuild Tanisma and assist its residents.
Best regards,
Nuri Park
