ZEYNEP K. Özen, a Mathematics teacher at SKINNERS Academy, took her first step as an educator in 2010 when she volunteered at a Turkish School in Eltham. Zeynep K. Özen achieved a new success and was awarded the Jack Petchey ‘Leader Award’. As a result of the award for which Zeynep teacher was awarded, the charity she works voluntarily will receive a fee of one thousand pounds and realize an environmental project.
Zeynep K. Özen gave more information about her project by making special statements to the Londra Gazete. “Education is a fundamental human right that cannot be questioned in any way. Every child has the right to a good education”, Zeynep teacher continued as follows:
“Our mission at The Javan Coker Foundation is to support children, youth and their families with disabilities and special educational needs, empowering them to reach their full potential in an environment where they feel safe. Esther is the founder of the charity and a wonderfully selfless person. Our aim is to ensure that their personalities, talents, creativity and mental and physical skills develop at the highest level in a happy environment.’’
Expressing that she is very happy with the award she won, Özen stated that with her new project, she aims to organize a one-week summer school in a rural area in places with high income problems in Turkey.
“At the moment, Gofundme is also helping, thanks to the support of friends. We have collected 330 pound so far, we’re trying to raise money for books, paper, pens, food and drink for the children. The village associate said he would also support this project. My only fear is that I won’t be able to handle the heat in the southeast. Other than that, I look forward to working with children.”
