Dear Precious Members,

Gulberenk Values Education Association left behind another section of programs which are organized in cooperation with the Golden Child Magazine as Gulberenk Educational Children’s programs. The program with the theme, “I have good intentions because I do my prayers!”, took place with a great enthusiasm and success with the participation of hundreds of spectators.

A good intention is always found in the heart. A person who does her/his prayers always has good intentions. This person always thinks about good deeds and practices goodwill. Sometimes good intentions are visible, travel beyond the heart, and sometimes they are hidden in the heart and invisible to others.

If a person wants to fill her/his heart with good deeds, she/he should be staying away from misconduct and wrongdoing. Every wrongdoing becomes like a black dot and gets stuck to our hearts. We must regret and repent the wrong things we have done for the blackness to diminish and disappear. Good intentions are always visible on our face in the form of a smile; but every smiling person might not always be well-intentioned. Every sullen face should not regarded as a bad intention. Therefore, we need to look very carefully to see the truth.
The rabbit and octopus were very sweet! The octopus told that him defended himself only to people who were trying to hurt him. Thus the octupus said that he is not actually a malicious animal. On the other hand, the rabbit was sharing her carrots with her friends. In reality, all animals are chanting Allah any time and bear good intentions. This month, Senanur Melike won the first place in the weaving competition with her gorgeous mosque. Senanur, by naming her self designed mosque “Gulberenk” touched us deeply.
