Our ministry and the Hz. Hatice Foundation initiated a joint project for mothers who are 100 years old and older. Under the coordination of the Hz. Hatice Foundation, a memorial forest will be established under the name of “Heaven’s Mothers” in Sakarya for 5 thousand and 529 mothers who are 100 years old and older. Moreover, the Vefa Social Support Groups will deliver gifts specially designed on the occasion of May 10 Mother’s Day to these mothers by obeying social distance rules.

Within the context of the project, a memorial forest will be established under the name of “Heaven Mothers” in Sakarya for monumental mothers. Vefa Social Support Groups in all provinces and districts of the country will pay a visit to these mothers on May 10, on the occasion of Mother’s Day. These groups will present memorial forest certificates personally signed by the Minister of Internal Affairs Mr. Süleyman Soylu to mothers during their visits.

Mothers Are the Most Valuable Beings For Us

Text on the certificates written by our Minister says, “Our world today is fighting against a serious pandemic. You, our valuable mothers are away from the crowd visits that you deserved. We want you to know that, with your century long experience and wisdom you are the most valuable beings for us. Paradise lies at the feet of the mother. This certificate is the symbol of every tree planted for you in Heaven’s Mothers memorial forest in Sakarya as a token of our gratitude.”

Social Support Groups will pay attention to social distance rules and mask obligation during visits to mothers. In addition to certificates, Vefa Social Support Groups will give gifts specially designed on the occasion of May 10 Mother’s Day.
