I hope, Heloise sees this post. She has been very kind to reach out to me to see what she could do for the people who were affected by the fires in Turkey earlier in August. She was as sorry as I were and I believe she has a heart of gold. Since she does not have a blog and I do not have her e-mail address, the only way I can reach out to her is here through my blog.
Today, I saw a wonderful news on Facebook. A group of British nationals living in the area decided to get together and purchased a number of sheep and goats to gift the villagers who lost their livestock in the fires. I am so touched by this. I thank them with all my heart on behalf of my people.
See the pictures that were shared. Such a heart warming gesture!
There are good people out there - although you wouldn't think so from the news sometimes! How lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt is the best kind of help for these people. They rely on animals and farming.
Deletethat's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think so too. Very thoughtful.
DeleteIt's always nice to hear that there are still good people trying to do good things.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Despite all the bad things happen on a daily basis, there is still hope.
DeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the late reply. Two things: I've had quite a month with family stuff and I was distraught that the UK government didn't take Turkey off the so-called Red List. I cried for days. But! Turkey is now totally clear of any restrictions and I am coming to your wonderful country tomorrow. I am so excited. Do you mind if I update you on my travels?
Separately, I am so pleased that Britons who live in beloved Turkey gave something back to the country which gives them such a welcome.
Much love.

I just got back home! Please do share your travel itinerary. Better yet, if you email me at tpolthetrekkie@yahoo.com, I will share my real name and phone number with you. In case you are in Istanbul, I would love to meet in person. If not, you may keep my phone number handy just in case. Safe travels!
