CHILDREN VISITED KARATAY ZOO AND HAD MOMENTS OF PLEASURE IN TRAFFIC TRAINING PARK

HASAN KILCA: AS LONG AS OUR CHILDREN SMILE

Karatay Municipality gave a tour to the children of earthquake victim families who came to Konya in the Karatay Municipality Zoo.  Children who had the time of their life at Karatay Traffic Training Park, try to put the problems behind which they lived by socializing.  Hasan Kılca, the Mayor of Karatay, also underlined that the smile on the faces of the children is their biggest gain.

Karatay Municipality organized an event for the earthquake victim families who settled in Konya to socialize with their children and help them overcome their trauma. Officials from the Konya Provincial Directorate of Security did not leave the children alone during the event.

CHILDREN SOCIALIZE AT KARATAY ZOO

While the happiness of the children was read from their eyes during the visit, they also got detailed information about their animal friends in the zoo.

MOMENTS OF PLEASURE AT THE TRAFFIC TRAINING PARK

After the Karatay Zoo tour, the earthquake victims went to Karatay Traffic Training Park and had lunch together at Cafe Karatay in the park.

Then, the children who got in the pedal cars at the Traffic Training Park had the opportunity to learn the traffic rules both as pedestrians and as drivers. Public Storyteller Osman Bozdemir also contributed to the children's having a fun day by playing fun games and making shows for children in Karatay Traffic Training Park.

KONYA WELCOMES US WITH OPEN ARMS

Children who stated that the event organized by Karatay Municipality was very useful for them, said that Konya welcomed us with open arms. The children expressed that they had a nice good day due to the event and thanked those who contributed.

WE ARE ENDEAVOURING FOR THE NORMALIZATION OF OUR CHILDREN

 Hasan Kılca, the Mayor of Karatay also did not leave the children alone in the Traffic Training Park. Mayor Hasan Kılca,  who noted that they are aware of the difficult period experienced by the children due to the earthquake, emphasized that they will do their best to overcome the said period.

Hasan Kilca; “We have started work to cause our children forget the hard times they experienced during the earthquake, even to some extent. In this context, last week, we organized a training seminar for families hosted in Konya and volunteers who will take care of their children in cooperation with our Karatay City Council and Sen Değerlisin Association.

Today, we hosted our Grade 3 and 4 students in our Karatay Zoo and Karatay Traffic Training Park. Our children had the opportunity to see the animals in our zoo. They also both had fun and learned the traffic rules by playing in our traffic education park within the framework of the same program. We would like to continue this activity for our earthquake victim children. If they are happy, we would be happier.  As long as they smile, we will try to do our best to cause people to forget the troubles experienced due to the earthquake and normalize their lives.”
