Yeşilova İsmail Akın Tourism Vocational School Culinary Department students carried out a project aimed at increasing social awareness by sharing the meals they prepared with the families of martyrs at the iftar table.
Yeşilova İsmail Akın Tourism Vocational School students, who carry out social responsibility projects in different fields every month, visit the home of a martyr's family every week during Ramadan. Within this scope, the students visited Şerife Özkaya, the mother of Firdevsi Özkaya, who was martyred in Bingöl in 1991, in Bedirli Village of Yeşilova district. In addition to Rector Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Dalgar, Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Ömer Tekşen, Rector's Advisor Prof. Dr. Ali Murat Alparslan, School Director Assoc. Dr. Mert Gürlek, project coordinator Lecturer Büşra Şen Avcu, and academicians accompanied the students.
Before the iftar, the delegation visited the grave of martyr Firdevsi Özkaya and prayed there. Then, the students shared the meals they prepared throughout the day at the iftar table with the martyr's family. Emotional moments were experienced during the event.
Rector Dalgar emphasized the importance of students participating in such events that benefit society for their spiritual development, stating: “Yeşilova İsmail Akın Tourism Vocational School is at the heart of practical education in the field of tourism. Our students undergo an education process intertwined with the sector at Salda Lavender Hill Hotel. At the same time, they contribute to social responsibility projects. I wholeheartedly congratulate all our students and academicians who participated in this meaningful event by preparing iftar meals for martyr families throughout the month of Ramadan. As a university, we will continue to support every project that benefits society.”
