From Dreams to Smiles

Hi, I am Mukaddes, I am a 4th year student at Inonu University, Faculty of Medicine. I'm the president of From Dream to Smiles Society. Our community was founded in 2016 to carry out our main project, "After Leila". With this project, we try to help our disadvantaged children. Apart from that, we have many events that we organize. We usually gather in the medical faculty’s amphitheater, hospital and Faculty of Health Sciences. Throughout the year, we try to learn their wishes by visiting and spending time with children with chronic diseases every week. In addition, we try to organize special events such as the "Wear Your Mask" event during The Children's Week of November 2nd-8th, the "Diabetes Party" New Year's Eve party on November 14, and the "Down Syndrome" event on World Down Syndrome Awareness Day on March 21st. We try to visit the village schools if we can find the time. We organize breakfast, meals and picnics with our friends between our committee exams. Only medical faculty students can join our community. We visit the hospital; only medical school students can participate in our activities within the scope of hygiene conditions and the permissions we receive. We are able to include students from different faculties in our activities in village schools in order to provide support. Our community has helped me become a selfless and social doctor. I also think my skills have improved in working with the community and managing. I wish success to students who have taken or will take the university exam. I hope you'll be where you want to be. I'm waiting for you at our university, have a nice day.
