FREE THE DOLPHINS IN KAS
Turkish writer
Buket Uzuner has collected and presented 20,000 signatures via
Change.org campaign, supporting the release of four dolphins to Kaş Mayor Abdullah Gültekin.
Uzuner said they wanted to see Kaş as a dolphin paradise and added that the mayor should not give approval to dolphin parks. Dolphins Tom and Misha have been set free, Uzuner said. “We hope that other dolphins will also be set free in the future.”
We will be following up the outcome of this campaign and continue our full support to free the dolphins in Kas.
TWESTIVAL
Watch our Twestival İstanbul video
Twestival™ (or Twitter Festival) uses social media for social good. Twestival is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date. All local events are organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects.Twestival was born out of the idea that if cities were able to collaborate on an international scale, but working from a local level, it could have a spectacular impact. Since 2009 over 200 cities have participated in Twestival raising close to $1.2 million for causes like education and clean water.
As istanbul Twestival City Organizer, in 2009 and 2010, we held 3 fundraising events for
Concern Worldwide,
Water.org and
TODEV.
