Merhaba
First, we would like to thank you for your interest in Turkish Breakfast. This month, we had many guests for breakfast and we hosted them in 3 groups. Thank you very much for coming. It was wonderful to have breakfast with you and to talk about our common values.
Since 2011, we have been coming together around breakfast table, and we are discussing the events from women's perspective. We are sharing our culture and we are learning from each others experiences.
This month's breakfast took place in a sad environment due to Sandy Hook shooting. We expressed our condolences for deadly Connecticut shooting and we tried to answer the question of what turns a troubled person into a monster that pours death onto other fellow human beings. As caring parents, we pray to find the strength to illuminate both hearts and minds of our sons and daughters with the love, respect and compassion for others, and do whatever is in our power to help prevent the reoccurrence of such tragedies.
The other breakfast meeting were hosted by a family who is from Karadeniz (Black Sea) region of Turkey and shared a short movie with us. Karadeniz is the most green area of Turkey and its climate is appropriate for tea agriculture. It was very interesting for us to see how black tea was prepared and come to our table.
Some guests were making Turkey trip plans after these breakfast meetings and this made us very happy. We will be happy to host you in Turkey as well.
We are hoping to see more friends in 2013 breakfast.
Till then Hoshcha kalin
