"For me, donation means somehow touching the souls of children who are not provided with the necessary opportunities for education, holding their hands and breathing love into their hearts."

"I lost my father when I was very young, and I found myself engulfed in darkness, unable to see the light above the water's surface. Yet, in my moment of despair, a helping hand reached out to me. With one swift motion, it pulled me up from the depths. I will never forget the hero of my story, the Turkish Education Association. Today, I stand secure and enlightened, guided by the glow of a mighty torch."

"They took the 12-year-old girl and walked with her, holding her hands, on the path to her dreams. There was not a single day that I did not feel their presence, their support by my side."

"We are the proof of how the life of a child can change when they receive the education they deserve."

"I thought I would feel uncomfortable when I graduated from university and came to Ankara, but I felt safe with the help of my Meşale friends whom I crossed paths with. Like all of them, I became a branch of this 94-year-old grand tree."

"In our beautiful country, we have many children who need to be held by the hand and whose path to education needs to be enlightened. Our duty to ensure equality in education is to provide them with opportunities. It makes me extremely happy to fulfill this duty with a conscious and reliable team, through the educational institution where I have studied for years. I am infinitely happy to carry out many more torches. I sincerely hope they burn."

"Education is the most important factor for the development of a country. Our duty as individuals is to contribute to the education of our children, that is, our future, under the best conditions. I think it is the greatest happiness in the world that individuals who have the opportunity can somehow touch the lives of our children who do not have the opportunity."

"It makes us very happy to support our young people, to whom we will entrust the future of our country, to receive education at TED Schools, which has a corporate structure and deep-rooted history, in order to contribute to their education and social development. I am sure that seeing every child as our own and feeling their love is the best feeling anyone can experience."

"When the sea recedes, the old man sees the little girl who throws the starfish that had washed up on the beach into the sea to survive and asks: 'There are kilometers of beach and thousands of starfish. There is no way you can throw them all in to the water. What difference will it make if you throw them away?' The little girl bends down, picks up another starfish and throws it into the sea. Smiling, she says, 'Look, a lot has changed for this.'"
