At the point of increasing the personal development and self-esteem of our children, the Aktas Education Foundation is doing very valuable work in the district; they touch to our children. We are really in need of this. As people who live in the south of Uludag, the ties with Bursa is somewhat broken. We have a huge heart, we are very successful, we have very smart children. However, we are a bit weak about integrating with Bursa. Such projects have very important gains at the point of uncovering our ores and instilling confidence in our students".
