An Educational Mission of 134 Years: TAC Community Service Activities
TAC has been working to instill in students dedication for service to community, one of the founding tenets of the institution since it was founded 134 years ago. TAC students have been visiting village schools in a mini-van converted into a library consisting of a wide range of books to develop a love for reading at an early age. Recently, TAC students have also been teaching English, Arts, Sports and Creative Drama during their visits to village schools on Saturday mornings. The young kids, our hosts, are waiting at the school gate with anticipation, thrilled by the idea of meeting TAC students. When the lessons are over, books are delivered to the kids who ask with a glum face: “When will you come back to see us? I will be waiting for you impatiently and will read my books and summarize it for you.`` It is a significant moment which exposes TAC students to mixed emotions from puzzlement to sadness, and finally the pride of having spent meaningful moments when they make little hearts beat faster with love and joy.
TAC Students Donate Clothes
In collaboration with the Tarsus Municipality, TAC’s 11IB students donated approximately 600 pieces of clothing to be delivered to children in need. In these days when the country is going through difficult times, TAC made both their families and children happy. The clothes which will be sterilized at the Tarsus Municipality facilities will be delivered to the families taking all health precautions. We would like to thank 11-IB students, our CAS Coordinator and Ramazan Akçay Abi.
