HISTORY
|
Our association was associated and located in Ankara in 1980. Our association's
main aim is to protect the social and the economic rights of the aged people
. Year 1982, the
week between 18-24 March was announced as "Respect Week to Aged
People". This announcement is made by getting the directives and
approvals of President Kenan Evren. Our aim is to renew the respect and
relevance in the society. Year 1983, our association became a general center by opening the main department located in Ankara. We coordinate the aged peoples handicraft fairs to protect the social and economic rights of the aged people. Our association coordinates trips, picnics, walking, meals to coalesce the aged people. We provide hundred thousands of peoples orthopedic contrivances and one of our member called Dursun Bektas had an heart attack operation. We fight against the fact that aged people separated from their children, can have a chance to settle in guesthouses. We also help our aged people spiritually. We give them food, clothes, friendship, love and respect. We get the aged people together, who can understand each other, and control them very oftenly. We apply "Protective Family System". We try to make them not to be alone, but they have to be threaded perfectly. We organize their official works, such as taxes, electricity, phone bills. A guesthouse will be opened in Izmit very soon. The aged people who can afford will be able to use with a little charge. The ones who can not afford will be able to have service free in charge. Composition and picture concurs are organized, and awarded the 1st , 2nd , 3rd ones but they are never awarded by money, cause we believe that the pay of respect and love should never be money. We bring our exhibitions and handicrafts wherever we are invited. Our association helped thousands of aged people till this time. Moreover we provided books, notebooks, clothes, and food to hundred, of students. We give lots of poor aged peoples addresses to the ones who wants to help the aged people. During Ramadan, we open kitchens, we give cooked and crude food, and clothes. Our association has nurses, for massages, and measuring blood pressures. Our association, as being a pioneer, tries to have discounted prices for aged people in public transport vehicles such as bus, train, plane, etc. and in theatres. Our association visits the students who really need help in schools and hospitals. Our aged people is the past of our nation and our family. We have to indicate respect and relevance to our aged people because of our national tradition, also as a command of Kor'an. You should never strive to get rid of your mothers and fathers. They forgive you for good by kissing and loving. |
