Nesin Foundation

23 April is the National Children day and according to that for a celebration, we went to the Nesin Foundation.  For this celebration, we went to Çatalca to make children happy. The other aim besides making children happy is to collect donation for the destitute children. This foundation belongs to Aziz Nesin who is an important writer in Turkey and aim of the foundation is to provide children to go good universities which are successful and need help.

Creativity

From many activity groups, I chose the drawing. We had a desk in a wide green area and put the art supplies that we bought for children. We tried to buy many art supplies in order to provide more than one option and be much more enable to teach new methods, drawing methods to them. There we had many children who experienced to draw with finger paint and watercolor painting. Besides that, we had many comments from parents about that they are very happy for their children to have an interest on these art supplies and told us that they are also going to provide this to their children when they are at home.

Activity

We went to Nesin Vakfı and make children draw something according to their imagination. Through that, we spent our all day with children. Contribute to their activities.

 Service

As people come to our stands to enjoy their children, they also went to other stands to eat, drink something. These charges are collected as a donation. We also contribute this donation in a way we also went these stands and buy something.

Learning Outcomes

1-Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth. I spent really good time with children. I love children. I love listening to their stories and get inspired by their imagination. I developed my communication skills with children under age 6.

2- Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively. It could be hard if I was the only person in the stand. But as we worked collaboratively, we arranged our time very well. We all had a chance to care about one child and didn't make them wait for someone to help them.

3-Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions. It was very nice organization. It helped children to spent a good time and remember 23 April as a very good, entertaining with full of good memories.
