Dear Distinguished Members,

Gulberenk Educational Children’s Programs, a service of Gulberenk Values ​​Education Association, continue to be staged enthusiastically. In May, through the programs we asked ourselves, “Which Flower on The Branch Are You?”. Each flower is known for its unique color, smell and structure. We could recognize squash blossom and so its flower by looking at the squash itself. Nobody would look at a rose and remember a pumpkin.

Nobody would expect to pick pears from an eggplant. An oleander branch would not bloom any roses. There would not be any apples on a pine branch. No beans would be picked from the vineyard.

There is no such thing as evil growing on the branches of goodness, there would not be any lies on the branches of righteousness. There would not grow superstitions on the branches of righteousness. No doubt would grow on the branches of faith. When we learned all these things, we asked ourselves over and over again: “Which Flower on The Branch Are You?”. Are you pale or fresh? Did you keep your color, your smell, your taste? What kind of garden are you? Are you rotten or fresh? Have you been able to preserve your color, taste, essence?

The Gulberenk Children are the flowers of the Islamic branch. Gulberenk Children are the fruit of the faith bond. Then every Gulberenk boy and girl should account for him/herself and think: What do I remind those who look at me while the squash blossom reminds of the squash itself? Can I become a healthy Islamic flower? What about my clother my outfits, my speeches, my respect for my elders, my compassion for my little ones? Do I practise my prayers in a beautiful way? Can I keep on fast regularly?

Not only the squash itself, even the squash blossom has a lot of benefits. What about me? Can I be useful to the humankind, animals, stone, soil (earth)? The squash was one of the favorite vegetables of our beloved Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). Can I love the squash because he loved it so much?

You see, as in every Gulberenk program, we have contemplated in this program a lot again. We also smiled a lot. We have been always happy because after Izmir and Zonguldak, we learned that Gulberenk Educational Children’s Programs will be staged in Adana too. Our sisters have spent a great deal of effort to complete their education. Gulberenk will be staged all over Turkey, and then the whole world cherish its programs, and then we will rejoice even more.

We, the Gulberenk Children, when we grow up we all will become Gulberenk Bees and take part in healing works such as honey of the bees in the nature.

Keep watching, thinking, catching up until to that time!

Well, enough for this month, I have said too much!
