SEAL project visit to the Bektaşağa Village

As part of our European Solidarity Corps Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas project “SEAL – Sustainable Environment for Aquatic Life,” funded by the European Commission, we all traveled to Bektaşağa Village to experience village life. With the help of the Women’s Production and Enterprise Cooperative, our volunteers learned how to milk the cow and make cheese and butter. Cooperative staff then taught them how to make mantı (Turkish ravioli). In Bektaşağa, they also helped with repairs and painting at the village house where our homeless friends live. They stacked their winter firewood. At the end of all this work, they enjoyed the mantı they made.
