Treasurer Feridun Ayata's Speech

Good afternoon,

I am honored to be here to see this documentary as one of the best fruits of Red Rose Foundation’s Intercultural trip to Turkey. I’d like to thank to Kids and Cultures and Max Films for their efforts to make this documentary possible.

Red Rose Foundation is non-profit, charitable and educational organization whose mission is to contribute cultural diversity a source of richness and strength. We are helping people understand their own culture, understand others, develop positive inter-group relations, and build strong communities At Red Rose Foundation, we strive to work with people from different cultural backgrounds to establish bridges between communities and to share cultural richness with others.
We succeeded that in many ways, but, is it enough? No. There are still people out there acting with their ethnic and religious bias and stereotypes, preventing useful projects to satisfy their own egos.

However, it is our hope that we can get all together and leave these problems behind with sincere dialogue. We believe we can change the world if we overcome by our prejudices and misconceptions. Think what you can do to change the world today.

Sponsored by Turkish businessman, this trip was organized to build bridges between Turkish and American people. Please enjoy this documentary and see how precious moments become pure friendships forever.

Thank you
