The international charity foundation Kimse Yok Mu carried out a project for the Panamanian orphan’s benefit. The foundation built an additional facility for an orphanage in a far-flung corner of the country. The new facility came as a fresh air to the orphans living in squeezed rooms due to lack of space and beds.
Panamanian Ministry of Social Policies and Kimse Yok Mu officials jointly cut the ribbon of the building that cost approximately 30 thousand dollars.
The opening witnessed sentimental moments as an orphanage official expressed his thanks to the sponsors who cherish helping out the needy even in out-of the-way places.
The orphanage offers shelter to children suffering domestic abuse as well as abandoned ones. It is currently home to 54 children, well over its 30-bed capacity.
The new building did away the kitchen problem and eased the overloaded capacity with the bedding supplies provided.
The orphanage officials were grateful to the Turkish people for their donations. They also demanded a playground and garden wall for the facility.

Erdogan’s Failed Crusade: The World Rejects His War on Hizmet
Indigenous African knowledge has it that when you tell a lie, it normally does not take long to dawn. As a warning against cheating, my mother, who died thirty-one years ago this year (1994), used to admonish us: “You do it in my absence, and what happens next is I see it all.” In the […]
Self-criticism by the Hizmet movement
Hizmet is composed of volunteers who are heterogeneous in terms of religiosity, ideology, lifestyle, occupation, degree of involvement in Hizmet activities and so on. Since Hizmet is not a hierarchical organization, it does not have a headquarters. As a result, it is difficult to talk about Hizmet’s mistakes. One can talk about the mistakes of some Hizmet volunteers or institutions that are affiliated with Hizmet.
Swoboda accuses Erdoğan of using Hizmet movement as a pretext
Socialist leader Hannes Swoboda asked “You were still supporting the Hizmet movement a year ago. Now you use the movement as an excuse for halting reforms. Why do you see them as a danger to Turkey now?”
Sources said Swoboda made it very clear that the EU was very concerned about the state of the rule of law in Turkey. “We are very concerned about the rule of law and the separation of powers, especially the independence of the judiciary,” he stressed.
