An Oak tree is growing for
the Kemal Saraçoĝlu Foundation
By Chris Elliott
I remember a few years ago when I first met with Maureen and Pete Fellows and they were
When sitting and talking to Maureen and Pete Fellows way back, I realised how some folk just have a tremendous desire to help others and have the capacity to work so hard to achieve their aims. So much so that Maureen had been invited to become an Honorary Member of the Board of the Kemal Saraçoĝlu Foundation.
I recall when we were first talking and I wrote an account of what they said in a local newspaper which was as follows:
“We started to raise money for the Foundation in March 2010 just
The sum we have raised to date with the help of all the things people have given us to sell is 16,319 TL. The money has been raised at Lambousa Saturday market, The Soyz Bar Sunday market together with some fund raising events arranged for us by some KSF supporters.
I feel as though I have planted an acorn and an oak tree is now growing
May I also say on behalf of the Foundation thank you to all of those people have made donations and given support and I hope many more of you will want to help.”
Since those early days
What more can one say, it’s great that some people are so concerned for the plight of others that they will undertake so much work to help them. If you have items you would like to donate to Maureen’s stalls to raise further donations for the Foundation, please call her on 0533 845 6705.
