“WORLD PEACE” — Blossoms within unity and solidarity, nurtured by justice, strengthened by environmental protection. “Turks are in action for sustainable future.”
Assembly of Turkish American Associations (ATAA) and Turkish Women’s League of America (TWLA), New York Atatürk School, prepared this educational children’s book, “Painting Competition Book,” in Turkish and English.
In 2023, as part of the UN International Water Conference, ATAA and its partners made a commitment to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Part of these commitments was to educate our community and children. We prepared this book for our community’s children to educate them about peace, friendship, respect, diversity, honesty, love, and the environment.
The Children’s Art Competition is organized by TWLA, NY Atatürk School. The theme of the competition, inspired by the vision of the founder of the Republic of Türkiye, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, encapsulated in his phrase “Peace at Home, Peace in the World,” was determined as “World Peace.”
Proceeds from this book help purchase the 2024 Art Competition Awards and ATAA 2024 UN Youth Awards, and help sponsor eight students’ participation at the ATAA 2024 Annual Conference. We appreciate everyone’s help to distribute this book.
