Hello, my name is Emir. I'm nineteen years old. I'm a student at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. Today, I'm going to tell you about my dream charity.
How many people do you think are unable to
access even simple activities, such as walking by the sea or drinking coffee in
a café? Over a million, and these people include patients, elderly individuals
and disabled individuals. They want to go out or do something else, but they
can't. However, we can help them with my charity Hope Hand.
First of all, many of these people become
depressed and disconnect from life because they constantly stay indoors due to
their health problems. We want to connect them to life. To do this, our team of
volunteers takes them to places where they can relax and socialize by private
buses. In addition, we have a very useful carrying system to transport
bedridden patients. First, we take bedridden patients from their homes with
their beds and transport them on our bus specially designed for bedridden patients
and we take them to the beaches or wherever they want to go.
Secondly, chatting is important for everyone
because chatting increases a person’s self-confidence and wards off loneliness. However, these people
may not have anyone to chat with and tell their troubles to. In this case, they
may lose their self-confidence and feel lonely. This may lead to more problems.
We want to solve this problem. We want to save them from loneliness. That’s
why, we established a communication team consisting of volunteers. Our team
goes to nursing homes, hospitals or their homes and chats with these people who
want to talk. We don’t just chat but also engage in different activities. For
example, we play board games, such as chess and backgammon and organize book
reading activities with these people on certain days of the week.
Thirdly, disabled individuals think that
they can’t do any sports due to their disabilities , and this reduces their
motivation. We want to increase their motivation and make things possible that
they see as impossible. To do this, we have volunteer sports coaches. Thanks to
these sports coaches, we help these people do the things they want to do but
can’t do because of their disabilities. For example, 3 months ago, together with
our sports coaches, we enabled a disabled person who lost her legs to ski with
specially designed skis.
Finally, disabled individuals need some
tools, such as a wheelchair or a prosthetic hand, to live more comfortably. If
they don’t access these tools, they won't be able to meet their needs, and their
lives will become even more difficult. We want to make their lives easier. We
meet these needs with your donations.
