Metin Bereketli helps
The brightly-colored contemporary original paintings will be added to the Center's Silent & Live Auction
Metin supports "The Tom Sullivan Blind Childrens Center Celebrity Golf Classic"
By donating his paintings to charitable organizations, Bereketli helps raise precious funds for worthwhile causes.
Metin loves children and never misses an opportunity to run to their help. He has worked extensively with children with leukemia in the past.
"I sometimes dream that a blind child will all of a sudden start seeing as he or she is in front of my paintings or feeling them with his fingers..." Metin said.
"... And I get so deliriously happy just at the thought of it that it makes me feel like first crying and then getting out on the streets and start running with joy!"
As the great mystic poet Rumi has said 700 years ago:
"To help a single individual is to help the whole humanity
because the same divine fire burns within us all..."
Metin signing the high-quality reproductions of his original painting Hi 5 for BCC as Muriel Scharf, BCC's Director of Development watches.
