The Turkish Beyazay Association carried out the second stage of its ” Be Enlightened, Enlighten Others ” project at Namık Kemal University in Çerkezköy, Tekirdağ. With the sound studio provided to the university by the Tekirdağ branch of the Turkish Beyazay Association, university students will record books for people who are blind.
The project launch programme held in Çerkezköy was attended by the Governor of Tekirdağ Mehmet Ceylan, Deputy Minister of Family and Social Policies Mehmet Ersoy, the Rector of Namık Kemal University Prof. Dr. Osman Şimşek, the District Governor of Çerkezköy Metin Kubilay, representatives of civil society organisations and many guests.
Speaking at the programme, Deputy Minister of Family and Social Policies Mehmet Ersoy said: ” We are aware that enabling these brothers and sisters of ours with disabilities to reach life's blessings as easily as we do, and making their lives and these values more accessible to them in every respect, materially and spiritually, is far too important a task to be carried out by the public sector alone.”
