My Dear Inner Wheel Sisters,

I am very proud to be serving this honorable duty for a second term. In addition, it has been a great honour and pride for me to be the president of our newly established Association of IW Turkiye.

After the great earthquake disaster we experienced on February 6, 2023, with the contributions of IW, we ran to the aid of the earthquake victims as two districts, we did our best and still continue to assist. While the aid to the psychology center established with the contributions of IIW in Samandağ Hatay continues, I would like to thank IW District 242 members who continue to work with the women of the region supporting them to stand on their feet economically; and IW District 244 members for their contributions to Darüşşafaka Society, which is constructing a school and a dormitory for the earthquake orphans.

This year, we are following the motto of our IIW President Mamta Gupta, ‘The Heartbeat of Humanity’, I congratulate all my sisters who work to protect women victims of violence, the elderly, orphans, nature and our youth from cancer with the supply of vaccines. I also appreciate and thank all our club executive committees who work to increase the number of clubs and members, which is one of the term goals of our IIW president.

As IW members, let’s reach out to all people with love and compassion for a better world and inspire them for goodness.

Hand in Hand in Service with IW Friendship and Love.

Gülgün Dolunay

Association of IW Turkiye President

National Representative 2023-2025
