Coming to Turkey for schooling because of the Somali famine, 12 Somali students who were once in need of assistance and food took part in the distribution of hot meals to 500 poor families as a part of project titled “Bana da Bir Kap Sıcak Yemek Verecek Kimse Yok Mu” (Is There Anyone Who Can Give Me a Hot Meal), launched by Kimse Yok Mu six months ago.
Speaking to the Cihan news agency, Kimse Yok Mu branch president Muhammet Nami Güzeler said social solidarity is one of the basic duties of a society, which is why they are conducting this project for families in need.
Regarding the Somali students who are helping them with the project, Güzeler said the attitudes of the teenagers, who were struggling with famine in Somalia about three months ago, are very sensitive and thoughtful toward this project.
One of the Somali students, Abdulnasr İmran, said they are very happy to be participating in an aid project in Turkey. He added that they become even happier when they see the smiles on the faces of the people who have received the hot meals.
Selma Çoşkun, one of the people who received aid, said it is very meaningful that Somalis who were in need not long ago are now delivering food themselves. Regarding the efforts of Kimse Yok Mu, Çoşkun said that are very significant, and she thanked the association and students.
The 12 Somali students are attending the private Rahime Batu Anatolian and Science High School in Malatya.
