Koşuyorum ki OKUSUN!
Koşuyorum ki OKUSUN!
40. İstanbul Maratonunda bu sene Mevsimlik Gezici Tarım İşçisi Çocuklar için koşuyorum.
Onlar her yıl aileleriyle birlikte kilometrelerce yolu fındık, narenciye, pamuk toplamak için katederken ben de bu sene onlar için 10 km koşacağım.
Koşmak marifet değil ! Koşarken sizlerin de desteğine talibim :)
Genç Hayat Vakfı ile birlikte açtığımız kampanyama bağış yaparak hem çocukların tarladan güvenli alanlara çekilmesini hem de yıl boyu burs alarak okumasını sağlayabilirsiniz.
Genç Hayat ve Balsu her sene açtığı yaz okullarıyla birçok çocuğa tarladan başka bir seçenek sunuyor ve onların eğitimden kopmaması adına burs desteği sağlıyor. Bu sene daha çok çocuğa ulaşmak için sizlerin de desteğine ihtiyacımız olduğunu unutmayın!
Mevsimlik gezici tarım işçiliğindeki 1 çocuğa; 1.680 TL ile hem hasat döneminde hem de eğitim-öğretim döneminde toplam 1 yıl boyunca destek olabilir ve okul bahçesinde olmasını sağlayabilirsiniz.
We Are Running to Prevent Child Labour
Every
year, thousands of seasonal agricultural workers pour into different districts
of Turkey for the harvest of various products. The families and children of
these seasonal workers live in tents or outbuildings that lack basic
necessities such as clean water, warm food, hygiene and safety.
On
average, children are made to work 12-15 hours a day. These children end up
missing out on a third of the school year and many leave school altogether.
Aside from taking away their right to an education, being a seasonal worker also negatively affects the children’s quality of life, their development and their future. Those who spend their childhood in the cycle of seasonal work, and who are thus unable to receive the benefits of schooling, are kept from developing vocational skills.
Every year we use the support we receive to prevent child labour by finding the children who are caught in the cycle of seasonal work and providing them with the services they need. We support children in harvest areas by distributing food, clothing, personal care kits and stationery materials.
The year 2018 has been declared “The
Year Against Child Labour" by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security
in Turkey. As Genç Hayat Foundation, we are launching a campaign called
"From Orchard to Playground" for preventing seasonal child labour in
our 10th year.
You can support a seasonal child worker for one year, during
the harvest season and the school terms, by donating 1.680 TRY and
ensure that s/he is going to stay in school.
