We are together for the architects of our future!
As the Turkish Cultural Center (TCC) Long Island, in collaboration with our sister organization Embrace Relief, we made a meaningful start to the new school year. Together with New York State Assembly Deputy Speaker Assemblyman Phil Ramos , we handed out school backpacks and educational supplies to our youth and shared in their excitement.
There is great hope for tomorrow in every smiling face. We will resolutely continue to support education and our youth.
We wish all students and teachers an inspiring and successful school year!
