Thanks to Kimse Yok Mu Foundation’s (KYM) aid, the young residents of Gurkan Celikol Orphanage, who are receiving hafiz training at the same time, are now smiling at least a little. The pupils are memorizing verses from the Qur’an by copying them on wooden tablets as they lack the Qur’an copies.

Pillars of Gulen’s educational philosophy: Problems education can solve
Yuksel A. Aslandogan, Muhammed Cetin
The land where the world-renowned poet and Sufi Master Rumi lived and taught is now witnessing an unprecedented development with global effects. Teachers, parents, and business owners are participating in a sociocultural movement, which is primarily driven by activism in the field of education. This civic initiative has been inspired by a Turkish Muslim scholar, M. Fethullah Gülen, whose humble beginnings gave little indication of his potential. Over the years, Gülen has encouraged the social elite and community leaders, industrialists, as well as small businessmen, to support quality education. With donations from these sources, educational trusts have been able to establish hundreds of schools, both in Turkey and abroad.
