We have the CAUSE, let's have the EFFECT! (Istanbul)

Dear friends,

We are really excited to invite you to our first meet-up to Hobbit House in Balat. It is a cute, cosy place with an interesting interior design, and they have delicious home made food.

Another reason why we meet at Hobbit House is that the owners of the cafe are dedicated to social work; they donate half of their income, they distribute clothes and books to the kids, and they visit families who are in need of food among other things. They have two projects that have been known across the country: Paylaş Kurtul (Share and Get Rid of your old things) and Sat Kurtul (Sell and Get Rid of your old things). They also hold auctions for a good cause. As you can see, this place has a lot to offer for people dedicated to volunteerism.

We will be meeting to have coffee together and discuss what we can do to have a positive social impact on the local community. We want to hear from you, draw on your experiences and reach out to a variety of groups.

Also let's go beyond only introducing ourselves and take immediate action. So, please bring something that can be used by children, but please note the cafe does not accept first hand goods, it is recycling based only.

Hope to see you on Saturday,
