Hear from some of our volunteers and beneficiaries about their experience at Qnushyo.

“It has been my pleasure to volunteer at Qnushyo doing crafts with the kids who are always enthusiastic and enjoy their classes. The community centre offers a warm and welcoming environment for many families in need and I’m really touched to see how much they love and care for one another. They  always appreciate the input from the volunteers and I hope that Qnushyo will continue to receive contributions and donations to assist a wonderful community of people. – Angie

I’ve been coming to Qnushyo for four years. I really love this friendly environment. It really makes me happy how they’re doing their best for the kids. I also learned here that I can work and do something good and this gave me great confidence. Now I can help other Syrian women regarding legal work, daily issues, registering in schools, going to hospital and how they can socialize.– Zuka

I’ve been coming to Qnushyo for almost a year. This place gave me the opportunity to socialize and become more resilient. I learnt a lot about so many different people and their cultures. I love this place. – Kewser

I’ve been actively participating in and supporting Qnushyo’s activities for two years. Before I came here, I didn’t know anybody and didn’t have a social life. Here, I can spend my time very productively. My kids are also learning so much by participating in Qnushyo’s activities – they love this place. I feel that my relationship with my kids has really improved since I became an active member of the community. I also love that I can directly help newcomers who are in need as I was once. I’m doing my best to help them with the help of the Qnushyo team who does their best to guide us and teach us about life in Turkey. – Hevron

I’ve been coming to Qnushyo for three years. This place really changed my life. Before coming here, I was always at home. I met so many different people from different cultures, because Qnushyo’s volunteers are from so many different countries. These volunteers helped me to learn about my own capabilities and they also helped my daughter’s registration and school enrollment process. Now, with all the experience I gained here, I can help other Syrian women. I’m really happy to be a part of Qnushyo.– Yasmin

I’ve been coming here for 1.5 years. I’ve made a lot of friends here. Before this, I was always at home and didn’t know how to become more social. This place has become our meeting place with our friends. I’m very glad that this place exists and that they are doing such wonderful things for our children. – Taghred ”
