“Her greatest pride is hidden in a mother's gaze... And her child is the one who fills her eyes the most...
She has a never-ending love in her heart and her child that she has never broken...
A mother is the one who gets cold the most when her child is cold and burns the most when her child is on fire...
A mother is an angel that every child carries on her right shoulder.
And a mother
It is the most missed because it smells of roses.
Today is Mother's Day…"
We would like to thank our faculty members who participated in the event and our department students who prepared in the kitchen for their efforts. In addition, we would like to thank the Darülaceze Institution for accepting our visit and offerings and hosting us!
