Education is Power

On 11th of November 2018, as Buldan Foundation, we have attended to a charity run under the co-ordination of Adm Adm (Step-by-Step) formation at the 40th Istanbul Marathon. The campaign was about raising funds for girls to support their college education. Over 100 volunteers were happy to run with us from all over the world such as from France, Holland, Italy and England and they all were happy to collect donations for our campaign.

The aim was touching on the lives of these girls and raising awareness about Girls Education.  Even if we have achieved our goals for this running, this is not enough for us, so we want to reach more people day by day to tell them how important the Girls' Education for the develoment of the society. This charity run is not only important for collecting funds but also to increase of visibility of our campaign along with increasing the number of  volunteers for our foundation.

We,  almost 104 team members, run with our t-shirts written on "Kzmz Okuyacak" meaning "Education is Power" from Asia to Europe over the Bosphorus bridge in Istanbul between the continents. For the run, in the early morning we met on the bridge with our team members with our flags and other material and then run started. Some of us finished the run ( 15 km) before others but we waited each other to meet after the run to have breakfast all together.

Althought we were all tired, we were really happy and peaceful because we did something good for  society and for the sake of bright future.
