The Secondary Education Commission of the Bülbülzade Foundation organized a nature walk for middle school, high school, and university entrance exam preparation students.
The walk took place in a forested area in the Nurdağı district and was attended by male and female students as well as educators from various neighborhoods of the city. The event was organized to raise students’ environmental awareness and to allow them to enjoy physical activity in nature. After the walk, the participants visited the Tomb of Ukkaşe Hazretleri, located in the same area. The tomb, which had been closed to visitors for some time due to damage sustained during the February 6 earthquakes, was reopened to the public by the Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality. Following the prayer held at the tomb, Secondary Education Commission member and educator Nesibe Aşkar briefly spoke about the life of Ukkaşe Hazretleri, the efforts of the Companions who spread across the world to convey the message of Islam, and the mission they undertook.
After the talk, the Bülbülzade Foundation Earthquake Zone Coordinator and President of the Gaziantep Branch of the Turkish Red Crescent Women’s Division, Zemzem Çetin, provided students with brief information about the institutional structure and activities of the Red Crescent. The event concluded with a group photo taken after lunch.
We congratulate our students who participated in the nature walk and extend our sincere thanks to the parents for their support.
