Living in Istanbul

When I was doing research on the Healthcare System in Turkey, I was lucky enough to live with some of my friends. This bottom photo is the view from the terrace off of my bedroom. I had never been nor have ever been since so lucky in having such an amazing view. I really enjoyed talking with many Turkish people about their experiences with healthcare. It was an eye opening experience in how much people endure in life. Sometimes I forget how comparatively easy my life in the US is, this was a good reminder and still is. This is another reason why I am raising money for International Childcare Trust projects.

The top picture is of one of the times I joined in on playing a game of soccer with some neighborhood kids.
