Last week Children's Day was celebrated in most cities with parades and traditional dances. It is a national holiday celebrating the importance of children. Children from all around Turkey gather in the capital city,Ankara, and they replace selected members of the government, electing a president and prime minister and they govern Turkey for one day in order to emphasize the importance of the children in the society.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy hearing and seeing the things that go on in the rest of the world.

Hope all is well with you, Mrs.
It is wonderful how children are still considered a blessing and a reward from God in much of the world.
