Over 100 families were assisted within the sector. The items donated included, rice, oil, sugar and beans, among other things.It was attended by over twenty students from Hope Kids Academy’s Summer Camp programme. The intention of the trip was to enlighten these students of the necessity of giving back and of remembering those who are less fortunate in society. According to Isa Gokturk Yilmaz, the school head master, the trip was brief but was a success in its goal of branching out to the local community. Many of the local families in attendance were overjoyed at the presence of primary students in doing their part to give back. "The school plans to hold similar events in the future as part of its goal to be an active member in the local community and actively engaging its students in social responsibilities,” he promised.
