İ came in İstanbul as “yabancı”, but since İ entered in the narrow streets of this historic İstanbul neighbourhood İ have experienced some strange feelings of shared energy and identity,…i felt myself like at home…Together with the other volunteers from the “Mavi Kalem”İ am preparing creative workshops for the children who are living in this neighbourhood, helping them to create different types of handicrafts.
