As we prepare to celebrate our 30th anniversary, we continue to meet with our children at 73 activity points all around the country. We are undertaking a meaningful and valuable project with Seyidoğlu Gıda, one of Turkey's well-established brands in terms of supporting quality education. We are very happy that our cooperation within the scope of our “There is Goodness in This Helva!” project will create an important opportunity to raise strong, knowledgeable and self-confident individuals.

We believe that we will be a hope for our children and contribute to social development with our cooperation. We thank Seyidoğlu Gıda for their sensitivity to the education and development of our children; we wish our cooperation to continue for many years so that more of our children can benefit from equal opportunities in education.”
