Somalina Posted September 28, 2011 Youth in the Somali capital of Mogadishu formed long lines in front of schools this week as they competed for a slot in a rapidly expanding student exchange program sponsored by the Turkish relief organization Kimse Yok Mu. The organization is planning to provide scholarships for 350 new students from the famine-stricken nation. Bilal Çelik, Somalia representative for Kimse Yok Mu, explained in an interview with the Anatolia news agency that word of the program's expansion has garnered an overwhelming response in the capital, with a total of 10,000 students attending exams over the 10-day testing period. Faced with such unprecedented numbers, the representative says the organization is considering as many factors as possible during the selection process. “We are giving priority to children living in tents and orphans,” he said. Çelik notes that students are hopeful of gaining an education abroad, saying, “After seeing a good education in Turkey, these youths' biggest goal is to return to their country and help their people as doctors, engineers or as experts in other fields.” The program aims to place the 350 new students in Turkish universities and prep schools within the next month. The student exchange program is just one part of a massive aid campaign undertaken by Turkey in response to East Africa's worst drought in 60 years. Turkey's relief efforts so far have included donating TL 500 million in aid to Somalia and distributing food to 12 million people in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti. The UN's refugee agency recently declared that the east African drought is currently the "worst humanitarian disaster” in the world, and has urged other international actors to pledge additional assistance. In addition to the 350 students which it plans to support in the coming months, Kimse Yok Mu presently provides education for 400 high school and 100 university students from Somalia.

Somalina Posted September 28, 2011 Turkey provides scholarships for 500 Somali students Turkey will provide scholarships for 500 Somali students to study in Turkish universities in the upcoming academic year, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ said. According to Bozdağ, 230 students will attend private universities, while 270 students will be able to study in state universities in Turkey’s newly established scholarship program for Somali students. Speaking at a meeting in his hometown in the Aydıncık district of Yozgat province, where he spent the Eid al-Fitr holiday, the minister shared information on Turkey’s aid campaigns in Somalia. Health is the urgent issue in Somalia, he said, and for that reason Turkey will set up five field hospitals equipped with medical supplies and health personnel, in addition to the existing field hospital, which was set up by Republic of Turkey’s Ministry of Health on Aug. 19. In addition, he said the Ministry of Forest and Water also conducts searches for water in Somalia. “TOKİ [the Housing Development Administration of Turkey] will build houses for Somalis. You may ask where the money for this is coming from. The state has not spent a penny on this. Charity campaigns have been launched by the public, by you. These people are so rich in their hearts and ready to give anything to the needy,” he said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STOIC Posted September 28, 2011 I am really happy for these kids.This should be named "the Erdogan airlift" ....Five decades ago a similar airlift happened in Kenya where a young Cambridge educated Kenyan by the name Tom Mboya cordinated an "airlift" in 1959 of 81 Kenyan students to the USA to attend college.Today as we all know one of the students was a certain Barack Hussein Obama Senior, the late father of US President Barack Obama.I'm really happy and looking forward to see a globally geared and wired youth return to Somalia and contribute to the nation building. PS On a personal note I know a classmate of mine (in high school) that got an Islamic scholarship to study medicine in Turkey and today he works for the CDC and travels around the world.I'm sure Turkey has a world class education....
