I'm sure there are still lots of poor kids just like that babydsitter's daughter. Luckily things are changing slightly in a positive way. Today we have many foundations and organizations such as <a href="http://www.tev.org.tr/" rel="nofollow">TEV</a>, <a href="http://www.cev.org.tr/" rel="nofollow">ÇEV</a>, <a href="http://www.tegv.org/v4/" rel="nofollow">TEGV</a>, <a href="http://www.acev.org/" rel="nofollow">AÇEV</a> and so on. I don't need to mention the individual support in person from all over Turkey but it's so sad to see the unfortunate results. Luckily foreign language education in Turkey has been developing day by day even it is a bit slow. As educators who are aware of the problems we have to support people around as much as we can and try to help just like you do. Let them know about the organizations I mentioned above will help as well. That way the students can have scholarships and continue their education. By the way it's such a nice manner that you help the children around as a foreigner in Turkey. Thank you very much. Hello Karin,
thank you for your sincere comments. I’m sure there are still lots of poor kids just like that babydsitter’s daughter. Luckily things are changing slightly in a positive way. Today we have many foundations and organizations such as TEV, ÇEV, TEGV, AÇEV and so on.

By the way it’s such a nice manner that you help the children around as a foreigner in Turkey. Thank you very much.

Some children have the best of everything whereas others have very little. In some schools (like our babysitter's daughter's school) they often don't even have an English teacher! I don't know if this is because they can't find one or if it is because they don't have enough money to pay for one?) Every so often I am approached by kids in our neighbourhood who need help with their homework or who just want to learn, they also seem to have received very limited instruction. In spite of the troubles, some people - like you - manage to learn against all odds. It is fantastic that you decided to "give back" by becoming a teacher. You inspire me!
