“We wanted to remind that children are children”

Making a statement about the program, Alanya IHH President Adnan Yavuz said, “Thousands of children orphaned in the civil war in Syria have almost forgotten to laugh. We also organized a festival in Azez with the support of our philanthropists. We wanted to remind children that they are children. Because of this war and poverty, we organized a festival in Azez. “We have been fortunate enough to see the smiles on our children’s faces, even for one day. We should not forget that the important thing is not what you have, but with whom you share what you have. We try to share it with our brothers and sisters here as much as we can.”

At the end of the program, various gifts were given to the children.
