Three schools in the Uzumlu area have recently benefited from 3C’s fundraising.
Late last year
Uzumlu village school, wrote to the 3C’s asking if we could possibly help them with the purchase of a sound system for the school. The school children regularly perform folk dances at the school but their only source of music was a teacher’s CD player and for larger events the school had to hire in a system each time, taking valuable money away from other important needs. The school had wanted to purchase a system for a long while but could not afford to do so. On their wish list, the school also asked if it was possible for the 3C’s group to provide a puppet theatre and puppets for their nursery class as well as a printer for their computer.
On visiting the school, the 3C’s group realized just how important the sound system was to the school and to the village and when we realized that it would be shared jointly with the neighbouring
middle school, so that the children at the two schools would benefit, we agreed to purchase the system.
A few weeks later, after consulting with 3C’s supporters Star Elektronik in Fethiye, we purchased a professional system suitable for the schools needs, which was heavily discounted for our charity. Star kindly fitted the system for us. We also purchased the puppet theatre and puppets and provided a good condition computer printer that had been donated to our charity by a 3C’s supporter.
Recently 3C’s members and volunteers visited the school to check out the purchases and to meet the children. During this visit we were presented with a framed certificate of thanks by the school. We have also been advised that our group will shortly be invited to be guests at one of the school’s folk dance shows which will be really nice.
A third school in the Uzumlu area to recently benefit from the 3C’s fundraising is
incirköy village school. The 130 children at the small village school were very cold over the winter months and the school asked if it was possible to have new sobas fitted. We agreed to purchase six sobas and during the school holiday in January these were installed in the classrooms so the children were nice and toasty warm when they returned to school.
The above completed projects which total 5,000 TL are just some of the numerous projects that the 3C’s charity is currently funding. None of this help could be given without the generosity of our supporters and for this we sincerely thank you.
Details of other completed projects will be posted over the next few weeks
