Adama Ouane, Minister of National Education of Mali, visited the 8th annual organization for the sacrifice festival (Eid al-Adha). Minister Ouane saw the organization in place, and said to the volunteers of Kimse Yok Mu present at the time “Your presence here is more valuable than anything else”.
Minister Ouane expressed that Mali went through a very difficult period and said they were grateful to Kimse Yok Mu, Horizon (Ufuk) Education Institutions, who didn’t leave them alone in that period, and to all guests and attendants, and added that he assumed himself to be a Turk, and the guests who didn’t leave them alone to be Malians because they didn’t leave them alone in this period.
On the other hand, Kimse Yok Mu volunteers who came from Turkey invited Adama Ouane, Minister of National Education of Mali, to Turkey. Minister Ouane expressed that he would go to Turkey as soon as possible.
