Programımız 17 Mayıs 2024 Cuma günü katılımcıların kendi imkanlarıyla Nevşehir- Cappadocia Inans Cave Otel’e varışıyla başlıyor. 2 gece 3 gün sürecek turumuzda Yoga, Drama ve Sanat aktiviteleriyle dolu dolu geçerken, tabii ki Kapadokya’nın doğal güzelliklerinden de faydalanacağız.
HUB - Birlikte Güzel, located in the Hatay Expo area, is a multi-purpose facility designed as a space for healing, learning, and empowerment. This space offers workshops, educational activities, and therapeutic services, to aid the psychological recovery and empowerment of women and children affected by the February 2023 earthquakes in Hatay, Turkey.
HOPE - Umut Kadınları broadens our mission to foster personal development for women and to meet the emotional and physical needs of children in distress.
