The Canter has left basketball behind and has been dedicated to activism. In addition to the constant battle against the Erdogan regime in his home country, the Turkish center also deals with the environment. So it was found in the Evelpidon Grove, where 200 new trees and shrubs were planted, in one action it was initiated by the Municipality of Athens and the organization of a prudence source of AMKE, which has many members of the Turkish community in Athens.
“Together with Turkish refugees, we raised $ 50,000 to plant 10,000 trees in Greece, a way to offer the land that gave us a second home. The fires are not interested in borders, but people care. These trees are our way of showing that even after all that happened, something good can grow – especially when we cultivate it together“, Cander, who participated in tree planting, told Instagram, wearing a t -shirt for Greek -Turkish friendship.
“I had been dreaming of this project for a long time. This project can give an example to all refugees in Greece. I and all the Turkish refugees had this fantastic idea, because we know how difficult the part with fires in Greece is. That’s why the idea was born. What can we do to help the Greeks. I think this is a way to show our appreciation in Greece, but also to Greeks. That is why we raised $ 5,000 and intend to plant a total of 10,000 trees. Not only me, but also many other Turks who love Greece and I think this is a terrible way to build a bridge between the two peoples“, He added.
