"Hep beraber" is Turkish for "all together." "All together" we worked to fund the Biga Women and Children Center. "All together" we will build the center in the summer of 2010 and help ensure a stronger, brighter future for local women and children.

The building arrives!
Dear followers & supporters:
The first pictures of the Biga Women and Children's Center have arrived!
The building was transported from Golcuk to Biga about two and a half weeks ago, and construction is underway. Standing in front of the colorfully painted walls are two of the founders of the Bikad Cooperative, Ayfer Baykal and Ayse Temiztas. These two women will be leaders of the new center, training teachers for the daycare and preschool, and providing adult education courses to local women.
This week, the leaders of Bikad are meeting with local business leaders to discuss their support of the cooperative in the days, weeks, and years to come. Hayirli olsun!
With just one week before my journey back to Biga, I am incredibly excited to visit my old friends.
Thanks for reading!
all my best,
Jill
