As I head into my last week here in Biga, I wanted to share with you the following links to see what local papers are reporting on the new center-in-progress:

This week we are planning a "Garden Day" where our team of workers from the municipality will be joined by the women of Bikad and Biga mayor Mehmet Özkan to beautify the surrounding area. A local florist is donating all of the flowers and trees to go around the center, and the municipality is donating soil.
Here is a picture from our meeting at the Biga Belediye today:

It is also worth mentioning that these great people are all working hard while fasting for Ramazan in extreme heat. Allah kabul etsin!

Congratulations. The news is great, information is invaluable and I must say, seeing Ataturk's picture on the wall made this view much more inspirational. Thank you.
