Two-thirds of them have passed entrance exams into universities and government paid jobs. It was a wonderful experience for us - our first project, and we look forward to helping more of our Turkish brothers and sisters for the next 17 months. A month of our mission is over already!

| Yusuf Sayyadan is the director of the school. He is in front with the tie. He is also blind. On the far right and on the far left are youth from our branch who came to distribute the canes. (The branch members - youth especially - are encouraged to participate in the ceremonies of these projects). In the center are a few of the students of the school. |

These are trophies the students have won in competition in academic and sports activites. |
This is a computer lab. The girl in the back is the teacher and
is a volunteer from one of the universities. As the students type on the computers,
each key makes a different sound so they can tell which letter they have typed.

| The is our interpreter, Seda. She is helping us understand what the director of the school is telling us and what Elder Edwards is having her tell him! Seda takes very good care of us. She drives us around, and is helping us now establish our residency here among many other necessary things. I honestly don't know what we would do without her.  This is one of the students at the school receiving a cane from Seda's son, Barkhan. Seda and her son are not members, and we were happy that he could be a part of the activity today. I think he enjoyed the experience as much as we did. We fell in love with this student. He was so cute with us, and wished us well on our trip back to the states. Not for while! |
