KEREM ÖZDİLEK NURSERY AND DAY CARE CENTER OPENED

Today, we proudly opened the Kerem Özdilek Nursery and Day Care Center, whose foundations were laid last March in cooperation with Bursa Nilüfer Municipality.

Among those attending the opening ceremony were Turhan Taylan, Former Minister of National Defense and National Education, Gökan Zeybek, CHP Deputy Chair responsible for Local Governments and Istanbul Member of Parliament, Nurhayat Altaca Kayışoğlu and Hasan Öztürk, CHP Bursa Members of Parliament, Mehmet Aydın Saldız, Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Mayor, Şadi Özdemir, Nilüfer Deputy Mayor, protocol members, Emir Murat Özdilek, as well as our Chairman of the Board, our senior management team and many distinguished guests.

Speaking at the ceremony, Emir Murat Özdilek said: “Since 1996, we have taken rightful pride in contributing to our country’s national education through the schools we have donated to the state. Across the 10 schools we have donated, approximately 500 teachers serve in a total of 300 classrooms, where nearly 6,000 students receive their education. Through the Özdilek Foundation, we also provide scholarships to approximately 500 students each year with an annual budget of 20 million Turkish lira. Today, we are here for the opening of a nursery project that we have implemented for the first time in cooperation with one of our municipalities. I wish the Kerem Özdilek Nursery and Day Care Center, which will bear the name of my son Kerem Özdilek, to be beneficial for Nilüfer."

Following the protocol speeches, Nilüfer Mayor Şadi Özdemir presented a plaque of appreciation to Emir Murat Özdilek. Afterwards, the ribbon-cutting ceremony took place and then, the classrooms were visited and participants met with the children and teachers.

Established in Minareliçavuş Neighborhood of Bursa Nilüfer with working mothers in mind, the nursery and day care center has eight classrooms and will be able to serve 112 children at the same time.
