Iftekhar Amin and Stan Ingman from FWOP made presentations at the International Symposium of Global and Cultural Eye on Aging, March 22 in Istanbul. On 23rd we visited Darulaceze, a nursing home built around 1890 by the Sultan. For FWOP it was interesting to visit the workshops where

residents create various items to sell t support the facility, e.g., jocks, rugs, etc.
Later in the week we met with the leadership from a village association in Istanbul who work to support their villeagers in the home village in eastern Turkey and those in Instanbul . Two-
thirds of the villagers have moved to Instanbul. From their enterprises in Istanbul they attempt to support their relativees in the home villagers and those living in Istanbul . We discussed how FWOP could cooperate with their association to improve the quality of life in both locations. They have some 300 member in their association.
