I was born in Adapazarı / Turkey. I am married and have two children.
As part of the 2nd generation of Turkish origin, I came to Munich as a young person and began at the primary school in Munich not only to learn the German language but also to cope with the difficulties of mastering the school material (which was then held in German).
In 1977 I joined the Initiativgruppe e.V. (IG) and started to be socially active.
I graduated from secondary school and have been working in social areas for years, especially with children.
Our German Turkish Friendship Association – Munich, offers me the opportunity to strengthen my sense of social support and solidarity. To help and promote without expecting anything in return. To make a contribution to a respectful and peaceful coexistence.
I am proud to be a board member of our association.
